That's correct -- and that's been one of the more difficult parts of my transition. Learned C++ in college, spent a few years doing Perl, and now all of a sudden type matters again. It's a very different philosophy, but I'm determined to stick with it until I have an Aha! moment and find something I can do more easily than I can with Perl. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
