That the same code would be incorrect in other circumstances doesn't make it invalid as it was used in a specific situation. I have written code my self with an "if var is True" statement and that is exactly what I wanted. Replacing it with "if var" would have broken the the program. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
