Actually, he's removing 2 from the list, but then the length of the list shrinks by 1 and iteration stops. The example would have been better if alist = ['a','b','c'] and 'b' was removed. L.remove(value) -- remove first occurrence of value you were possibly thinking of alist.pop(2), which removes the item alist[2] from alist HTH :) -- Tim Williams -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
