IIUC you are looking for enumerate(): http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#enumerate The doc page on built-in functions, which contains enumerate(), is worth skimming or reading. I also recommend the docs on built-in types, which tell you everything you can do with a list, dict, set, file, etc: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
