D'oh! My apologies: I was misremembering the addition of the optional "start" and "stop" arguments to the existing list() method, which happened in June 2003 (SF #754014 at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=754014&group_id=5470&atid=355470 ). -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
