IMHO, you are not aware that the '=' symbol of mathematics exists in python, it's the 'is' assertion. a is b and then, do what you want with a (or b), a is b remains True. THIS is the meaning of expr1 = expr2, but in computer science, this is not as important as it is in pure logic (most languages do not even provide the 'is' assertion). -- _____________ Maric Michaud _____________ Aristote - www.aristote.info 3 place des tapis 69004 Lyon Tel: +33 426 880 097
