Tom - I answered your question even before you posted it! You have to use iMatrix.append(k) and NOT iMatrix[index] = k.
Also, what do you expect out of: while index < majorlop1: print '- %s %s' % ( iMatrix[index], sep) This loop will never get executed because your previous loop finishes due to the same condition index < majorlop1. I am not sure what book you are using but I don't think it is a very good one. > I would like to set the size of the List/array independent > of having to intialialize it prior to use. You can do the following when you allocate your list. iMatrix = [''] * size # where size is an integer and this will give you a list of size empty elements. If you do this, do not use iMatrix.append(). Use the array notation like you have in you code currently. Thanks -Kartic -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
