I had initially thought that I was seeing the difference between local hard drive access and the speed of my network, as my home directory is on a remote machine, but I don't think this is the case. I modified your version to write to a file on the local hard drive instead of a remote file, but the speed hardly changed: 15 minutes instead of 16. The best I was able to get my version down to is 14 minutes, so I guess I just have to accept that my PC is seven times slower than yours :) -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
