I figured that an append would be treated as a set since I'm adding to the list. But what you say makes sense, although I can't say I'm happy with the behaviour. Is there any way I can get the append to fire a set? I'm thinking of properties from my C# background where i believe that manipulation such this would be considered a set. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
