This seems like a lot of effort for not much reward. Where is n coming from? If you already have something that holds the required level of precision, why does it need to be transformed? Could it already be a string? If n is entered through raw_input, then you received it as a string. I don't want to push you in the wrong direction, but it seems like there must be a better way. -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
