But all arithmetical operations are recursively definable from 0 and sucessorship, so what's the difference? ;-) In all seriousness, though: thanks for the further comments and the helper-function-intense sample code. I'll have a think before I try to decide which I prefer -- I like the division of responsibilities, but worry that the conceptual units have become a bit too small for taste. And, fret not over the typos that you followed up about. I parsed as intended just fine. :-) Thanks again, Brian vdB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
