Even better than my other suggestions might be to write this function, and then wrap it in a memoizing decorator (http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDecoratorLibrary#head-11870a08b0fa59a8622 201abfac735ea47ffade5) - surely there must be some repeated colors in your image. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
