It is better using the correct tools: >>> a = 'a' >>> b = 123 >>> isinstance(a, basestring) True >>> isinstance(b, basestring) False >>> If you're willing to differentiate strings from the rest of types, then check for instances of basestring. This is inherited by all string types (and should also be inherited by alternative implementations and derivations from those types). -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
