I think you might need to read up on hash tables - try wikipedia. There is no index as such. A dictionary is a hash table usually implented as a sparce array or tree structure so you cannot traverse it sequentially - thats why order is not guaranteed in a dictionary. I think you need to reconsider your data structure. Alan G _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
