I meant to add that the syntax error is the colon at the end. Python sees what you've written as a function call but it doesn't know what to do with the colon. But if you add the space it sees it as a method definition and all is well. And once you add the second underscores it then recognises it as a dunder method definition and all is even better. :-) -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
