This may fall into the obvious answer. ~(:>)) My Python reference says that the xrange function was discontinued in Python 3, which you are using. "In Python 3.x, the original range() function is changed to return an iterable instead of producing a result in memory, and thus subsumes and [sic?] Python 2.x's xrange(), which is removed." -- Python Pocket Reference, 5th ed., by Mark Lutz. -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
