Oh, while we are at it...

" ".join(":-)", ":^)", " ") * 42

is actually wrong, since it needs a seuqence, not just the arg tuple. Wouldn't it make sense to allow this? Exactly the opposite as in list.append(), since in this case we are just expecting strings?

While I have to say that

" ".join("123") '1 2 3'

is not a feature to me but just annoying ;-)

ciao again - chris
