I decided to find out, so I ran "timeit" on both schemes using a 2MB file. The two methods are within 1% of each other -- sometimes the dict is slightly faster, sometimes the list is slightly faster. Thus, for all practical purposes, they are identical. I'm surprised. That means you should use the one that makes sense to you. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
