Filter first, Sort second, Enumerate third, Build Dict last: c = dict((k,v) for (v,k) in enumerate(sorted(j for j in a if j in b))) The inner generator you could do with sets also. c = dict((k,v) for (v,k) in enumerate(sorted(set(a)&set(b)))) Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
