Cool as well. So much to learn :) 1. Using an _ is an interesting way to use a throw-away variable. Never would I think of that ... but, then, I don't do Perl either :) 2. Any reason for xrange() instead of range() > The second one is probably quite faster. This seems to be a bit faster than the other suggestion, but is still quite a bit slower than the original loop. Guess that I'll stick with the loop for now. Thanks again! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
