I don't know if you can read minds, but you seem to have a lot of trouble reading words. Can you read "it would be nice to be able to write ..."? Can you understand what it means? Can you understand that it does *not* mean, "one *should* be able to write ..."? The really significant question here is why I waste my valuable time with pedants like you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
