Use xrange instead of range. If you want to do it with no variables, hmmm: from itertools import islice, starmap, repeat import random possible_notes = range(12) length = 9 print list(islice(starmap(random.choice, repeat((possible_notes,))), length)) >>> ## working on region in file /usr/tmp/python-21885hGZ... [10, 0, 6, 7, 8, 1, 9, 6, 11] Maybe you're sorry you asked ;) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
