And the OP might like to go a bit further, and as well as benchmarking this style: array = [] array.append("aaa") array.append("bbb") etc try benchmarking this ... well "style" may not be the appropriate word :-) array = [] arrapp = array.append arrapp('aaa') arrapp('bbb') etc Cheers, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
