It is possible to avoid the extra level of indentaion, but I think it's much less readable than the 2-level verbose expresion: >>> a [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7] >>> for odd in (num for num in a if num % 2 == 1): ... print odd ... 1 3 5 7 there is also continue, which I think is a good compromise: >>> for num in a: ... if num % 2 == 0: ... continue ... print num ... 1 3 5 7 HTH (and not lead astray), mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
