It isn't hard at all. The next step would be to try something with a few more than 3 keys and decide that you can't be bothered with all that typing and inventing values. dict.fromkeys([randint(0,99) for i in range(10)]) gives you keys out of order about 99.92% of the time. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
