Thank you all for your help. I found a solution as the following: alist = [ {'noun': 'dog', 'domestic_dog', 'Canis_familiaris'}, {'noun': 'frump', 'dog'}, {'noun': 'dog',}, {'noun': 'cad', 'bounder', 'blackguard', 'dog', 'hound', 'heel'}, {'noun': 'frank', 'frankfurter', 'hotdog', 'hot_dog', 'dog', 'wiener', 'wienerwurst', 'weenie'}, {'noun': 'pawl', 'detent', 'click', 'dog'}, {'noun': 'andiron', 'firedog', 'dog', 'dog-iron'}, ] def getAll(alist): list=[] for i in range(0,len(alist)): list.extend(alist[i][:]) return list Kind regards, Sengly -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
