However if you really want an explicit check... > if keY != 6 or keY != 11 or table.values()[keY-1][6] == 0: This test should use 'and' rather than 'or' since you want all of the conditions to be true, not just one of them. But since the failing condituions should all have been caught above simply using else here would do what I think you want. > b = range(10,110) # 10 to 109 > integer = random.choice(b) > tablE.values()[keY-1][6] = integer > cnt += 1 -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
