Now, that's not ambiguous is it? Seems to work for both partition and rpartition. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRP2+AHEjvBPtnXfVAQLiPAP+N80jHkoT5VNTtX1h2cqD4pONz+j2maCI QXDBoODucxLDPrig8FJ3c6IcT+Uapifu8Rrvd7Vm8gSPMUsMqAgAqhqNDbXTkHVH xLk31en2k2fdiCQKQyKJSjE1R1CaFCezByV29FK3fWvqrrxObISRnsxf/wXB6Czu pOUNSA9LLKo= =g+iz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
