Point taken. How about .fetchitem() -- this doesn't imply any ordering and can't get confused with __getitem__() et al. BTW, Moshe's .key() and .value() would break the strong binding between dictionary keys and values -- I don't see much use in them. Besides, .fetchitem() provides the same implied functionality. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Company: http://www.egenix.com/ Consulting: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
