Thanks for replying! I thought it best to post here than to mail you the
question directly.

I don't know Python well enough to be fond of the constructs, but I've
been meaning to start using Python again recently and was a little
surprised to see that a lot of the functionality that I'd taken to be an
'important' part of the language, from reading this newsgroup in the
past, was being superceded by other features.

Perhaps I just need more up-to-date examples?
