Well, list comprehension does indeed seem the solution to your problem, although a single list comprehension would not be necessary. I came to http://py77.python.pastebin.com/m4dcbb34f (note: this is untested, I have no Python on the computer I am working on now), or http://py77.python.pastebin.com/f76ba5002 to indeed just use a single list comprehension (or rather, two nested list comprehensions, again untested for the above reason). -- André Engels, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
