In [376]: '123 100 12 37'.split() Out[376]: ['123', '100', '12', '37'] In [377]: map(int, '123 100 12 37'.split()) Out[377]: [123, 100, 12, 37] In [378]: max(map(int, '123 100 12 37'.split())) Out[378]: 123 > In additional to max/min, is there something like average()? No, but it's easy to implement with `sum()`, `len()` and ``/``. Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
