The most direct way would be something like (untested): for i in xrange(0, 100, 5): print ' '.join(str(j) for j in a[i:i+5]) where a is the array. If you prefer a "coordinate-free" style, you could use something like: for x,y in itertools.groupby(a, lambda n: n//5): print ' '.join(str(k) for k in y) I hope I got that right. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
