Two suggestions --- First, you can actually do multiple equality testing the way your mathematics teacher would: if a == b == c == d == e == f == g: # do stuff (this grates against my instincts in some ways, since it breaks associativity (because it means 'a == b == c' is different from '(a == b) == c'), but it's in the language, so I guess it's the Right Way). You could also do this: # python2.3: use Set module if set([a,b,c,d,e,f,g]) == set([a]): # do stuff HTH. -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
