Diez: thanks, I will try that. However isn't sum() returning an integer that here would represent the number of elements?
Bruno: good question. We're talking about text files that can have 300,000 lines, if not more. Currently, the way I have coded the file writing, every line calls for a write() to the file object, which in turns write to the text file. The file is on the network. This is taking a long time, and I'm looking for ways to speed up this process. I though that keeping the list in memory and dropping to the file at the very end could be a possible approach.
