Eh? Why? My understanding of the difference between a tuple and a list is PRECISELY that the former is immutable and the latter mutable. But an index method makes precisely as much sense on an immutable sequence as it does on a mutable one. Regards, Nick Maclaren. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
