I do not think that's actually true. It does no good to pop elements off a copy of the list if there is still code that refers to the original list. So I think you really do want list.reverse(). The problem with reversing the lists is that it gets sliced and diced and passed around to other methods, one of which, html_block_tag, recursively calls back to the main method. So you could say that everybody just has to work with a reversed list, but in my mind, that would be just backward and overly complicated. I am not completely ruling out the approach, though. The idea of modelling the program essentially as a stack has some validity, and it probably would run faster. https://bitbucket.org/showell/shpaml_website/src/tip/shpaml.py -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
