Actually, he's COMPARING the two, not assigning. But comparing a function object and a tuple is still not going to do anything sensible. > But if it is a simple string you are searching for regex is overkill and > probably slower than using in. This is good advice. I was assuming that the question was about regex and would be grown into a more complex pattern match in the final application. If all you really want to do is see if a constant text string like "Domain:" is in a string, regex will work but is overkill. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
