So long as the cat's out of the list, may as well do it "the obvious" ;-) way too: result = set(list1) - set(list2) Of course the result is a set then. Maybe that will work fine in context, maybe not. I leave it as an exercise to figure out how to change it back into a list (hint: try the obvious way first ;-) ). _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
