Does this work? (I can't check) listX = ['933\t957', '955\t979', '969\t993', '1025\t1049', '1052\t1076', '1098\t1122', '1136\t1160', '1298\t1322', '1406\t1430', '1422\t1446', '1471\t1495']
listY = [ tuple(item.split("\t")) for item in listX] tupleY = tuple(listY) Liam Clarke-Hutchinson| Contact Centre Advisor| Ministry of Economic Development DDI +64 3 962 2639 | Fax +64 3 962 6220 www.med.govt.nz -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Srinivas Iyyer Sent: Thursday, 17 November 2005 9:59 a.m. To: tutor@python.org Subject: [Tutor] How to convert a list to tuple Dear all, Pardon me for asking a simple question. Sometimes brain gets blank and compells me to seek help from tutors. I have a list : >>>prcor ['933\t957', '955\t979', '969\t993', '1025\t1049', '1052\t1076', '1098\t1122', '1136\t1160', '1298\t1322', '1406\t1430', '1422\t1446', '1471\t1495'] >>> prc = () >>>for line in prcor: cols = line.split('\t') (x,y) = (int(cols[0]),int(cols[1])) prc = (x,y) >>>prc (1471, 1495) Because the resulting element is a tuple, append is not working. How can I push all these elements in this list: ['933\t957', '955\t979', '969\t993', '1025\t1049', '1052\t1076', '1098\t1122', '1136\t1160', '1298\t1322', '1406\t1430', '1422\t1446', '1471\t1495'] into a a big tuple : ((933,957),(955,979),(969,993),(1025,1049),(1052,1076),(1098,1122),(1136,116 0), (1298,1322),(1406,1430),(1422,1446),(1471,1495)) Thank you. __________________________________ Yahoo!
