Thanks. I initially thought about this but did not know if this is legal syntax. The following is the updated code taking into account what you suggested and the previous posted. results = [['1', 0.99921393753233001]] k = results[0] print k[0] print k[1] a,b = results[0] print a print b x = results[0][0] y = results[0][1] print x print y -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
