the other possible interpret what you're asking is these lists are read-only so you subclass list and your __init__() either truncates any more than 5 list elements passed to it, or throws an exception when this happens. At this point you've hit the limits of my ability to read your mind. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
