Please don't feed the bots. -- I figured the question was interesting enough to warrant discussion whether it was a bot or not. But i'm not an avid forum user, so maybe I'm wrong. Also, if it's a bot I'm floored and the man who wrote it could probably solve cancer and world hunger with five lines of asm. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
