That's a clever work around. Thanks, Raymond. Clearly you had a need for this. Do you feel it's a common need that should be submitted as a Python feature request? To me it seems like such a simple thing that would increase the general utility of the set class. I suppose I could start another thread like "feature request: New method for set - get_equivalent". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
