Thanks Paul. I've been meaning to spend some time getting to thoroughly know list comprehensions for awhile now, but I keep running into so many new things I just haven't gotten to it. I thought it looked like one, but I hedged my wording because I wasn't sure. Infinite iterators definitely sound like something to remember! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
