Sorry, this is worse than unreadable. It is *misleading*. It doesn't test for equal sequences except as a special case. What it does is perform a generic element-by-element comparison, not necessarily an equality test. What was wrong with the name compare() used in previous posts in this thread? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
