More generally, I'd say that this is solving a (very) slightly different problem: it's providing a "toggle with default" feature, where the part after the else is the default. If you don't want a default, that's a bug. I've known times when that default makes life a lot easier, in which case it'd be a feature. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
