That is still binding to the operand on the "right" (i.e., the sequentially later). And it still does not cause the problem that Chris was talking about, since without the parentheses that would be a syntax error. So I guess I'm not certain what exactly it is that you're trying to demonstrate here. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
