Okay. The set example that I gave will work, then - as long as all items are hashable (if they're strings, they are). Up to you which one's more readable. In any case, that could do with a supporting comment. My first suspicion was that it ought to be written as: fake_result = '[omitted]' not in fake_data and that it was calculating the wrong thing. But it is doing what you think it is. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
