It's also useful for when you're looking for a crypto algorithm and rot13 is too strong. It also provides a handy way to write is_alpha()... def is_alpha(c): return abs(ord(c) - ord(c.swapcase())) == 32 print is_alpha('a') print is_alpha('A') print is_alpha('1') print is_alpha('>') -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
