Each time you do that you are copying a chunk of the original list.
This could be expensive on a large list. Reminds me of the old joke
about how many marines it takes to paint the barracks: 200 to
oscillate the barracks, one to hold the brush steady. You don't need
to do that. Here's a clue:
| >>> help(list.index)
Help on method_descriptor:
index(...)
L.index(value, [start, [stop]]) -> integer -- return first index
of value
I look forward to your next version.
Cheers,
John
