It's not nonsense for a singly-linked list. I don't need to be taught the benefit of recursion, but whenever interation is suitable for an algorithm/data structure, as it is with singly-linked lists, then it is the more readable and more preferrable choice, especially in Python. In Python the One Obvious Way is iteration when possible, recursion when necessary. Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
