Yes, sorry. It has nothing to do with strict, but with static typing. And I should not have chosen such a general subject line (I just meant to be funny, but sounded more like a troll). I had just noticed that the direct translation of that Java program to Python would not have that subtle bug and found that this was worth mentioning. -- Christoph -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
