Looks like you've got a quibble on that. But the point is, it doesn't fulfill the Common definition of a built-in function, and so will confuse most readers, as it did me. As for citing C language, this is Python. You have to stop somewhere. Some of the documentation is cipherable, but some is written by folks who appear to think everyone else is them and knows what they know, in which case why write it at all? It's not written at a consistent level. -- Jim After indictment the bacon smuggler was put on the no-fry list _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
