For all of your examples, there are other ways supported. I do wish this focus on “only way” would depart, it's a fallacy and not helpful. What is important (and supports the main point of your message) is that for each of the above, whether or not they are the only way, they are the one *obvious* way to do the operation. -- \ “The cost of education is trivial compared to the cost of | `\ ignorance.” —Thomas Jefferson | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
