I confess that it did not occur to me that there might be an interesting distinction among these cases for the question of how to get sequential pairs from a list. How would one draw these distinctions in this case? Thanks, Alan Isaac PS Just for context, the sequential pairs were needed in a simulation, but my question was primarily prompted by my surprise that the approaches I looked at differed as much as they did. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
