As you can see, it's much easier to work with data in lists. Some of the
other methods, like list.sort() and list "slices" will also be useful to
you, but I'll let you figure out the details ;-) .
Something else that might be useful to you if you're using Python 2.4:
>>> lst = [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8]
>>> import itertools
>>> for value, values in itertools.groupby(lst):
... print value, list(values)
...
1 [1]
2 [2, 2]
3 [3]
4 [4]
5 [5, 5, 5]
6 [6]
7 [7]
8 [8]
