nope, i just said it doesn't appear to be standard practice. i don't see it much in code that i've been around in the past decade+ nor do i do it much myself. neither of those things indicate an "outdated" practice because as far as i know, it was never the norm AFAIK. i mean, it *may* have been before i learned Python (1.4), but i just can't say for sure. > > This was my own question, If you don't set an object to None- explicitly, > then to you ever check to see if an object is None? only in the right circumstances, i.e., i get a return value from some call. -wesley _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
