But I still fail to see where this is useful. All these 3 statements create a list from 0 to 10 including. If, however, the ".." operator would recognize patterns before and after itself, I could see your point (e.g. [0, 1, 2, 4, 8, .. 128, 256, 512]). Buts thats pretty academic, maybe good for a specialized computation language. And I feel that my "write a function" argument still holds. /W -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
