OP, if you are planning to do this "maths on lists" a lot you should have a look at numpy. With numpy Dave's snippet can be written as from numpy import array, cos, sum j = 0.4 a = array([2.3, 4.65]) b = array([1.8, 2.2]) c = array([12.1, 4]) print sum(a*cos(b+c*j)) Peter _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
