Sorry if I've already posted half of this - having troubles hitting the toushpad on this little machine by accident. The fractal in question is a curve in R^2. By definition that means it is a continuous function from [a,b] to R^2 (with the same value at the two endpoints). Hence it's uniformly continuous. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
