Looking at help(sets.Set), it seems that there is no direct way to ask for a single element of a set, except with pop. So you can pop an element, then add it back in: some_element = s.pop() s.add(some_element) Another solution is to extract all the elements, then pick one: some_element = list(s)[0] -- Steven D'Aprano -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
