Whereas with a list you would call "append" in the loop, with a dictionary you simply use an indexed-assignment type of access: mydict = {} for filename in some_list_of_filenames: hash = sha.sha(open(filename).read()).hexdigest() # or whatever mydict[filename] = hash -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
