It was just an example, but I agree, you probably wouldn't use zip in this situation. My question is, why would you ever use zip with one parameter? To me, that's an argument for letting zip(a) return 1-tuples, not raising an exception.
Your logic is impeccable. Also, consider this: zip( "mybigfile.xml" ) -- Paul Prescod - Not encumbered by corporate consensus "Hardly anything more unwelcome can befall a scientific writer than having the foundations of his edifice shaken after the work is finished.
