Well, if you are going to spare us from reading all of your code, you'll have to debug it yourself. The clue that Fredrik gave you is *not* of the use-once-and-discard variety -- when you are having problems with the pixies changing your lists into strings, you need to sprinkle prints of type(pixie_prey) and repr(pixie_prey) at salient points in your code; as first statement in that __init__ method would be a good start. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
