I think the OP is about to get the point, that there are usually several workarounds that people have found on their way to designing a function, or using built-ins(not that we don't use built-ins to create those workarounds).
But you have to always remember to reference the docs, google. the help() function, then the list, unless it's something urgent, like a client needing a function added quickly, and you haven't worked with python in that particular area yet. Best Regards, David Hutto, http://hitwebdevelopment.com
