Alan, I could not agree more. Python's has both simplicity in its syntax and very powerful constructs like generators and object orientation included. I would hate to eventually need a Python reference book by my side for even the simplest of projects because I could not remember $#& meant a returned value from a function when the value was a particular type (I used to work with Perl and you can get into that pretty quickly). _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
