No I'm not kidding -- people from some cultures have no difficulty at all in mentally splitting up "words" like "setdefault" or the German equivalent of "Danubesteamnavigationcompany'sdirector'swife"; others from other cultures where agglutinisation is not quite so rife will have extreme difficulty. And "Updateby" sounds like a village somewhere in the Danelaw :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
