Unfortunately Python insists on only having *expressions* as lambdas and since print is a command not a function you can't use it in Python lambdas! Dumb or what??! So you are stuck with predefining a bunch of one liner functions and then creating a dictionary or going back to if/elif chains, which is where we came in... :-) HTH, Alan G. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
