As usual, I expect that actually having some working code measuring 'Pythonic' length (and I'm sure we could get into all sorts of fun arguments about the exact definition of that) would go a long way towards convincing the next contest thrower who's measuring length to use something a little less distorting than program length. I've been thinking about writing something, but I've been distracted. Perhaps I'll take a stab at it tomorrow and see what I come up with. That being said, the result I've come up with for the contest are pretty cool in a perverse way, at least while there it's spread out over six lines. Once it gets folded up, it become unbearable. And, sadly, it only saves 3 characters. If one was ignoring leading and trailing whitespace the unfolded version would be the much shorter of the two, but ya gotta play with the rules as they is. -tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
