Typically you'd say radix = [[] for i in xrange(256)] but what are you really doing? This plan to implement radix sorting sounds a little bit odd, unless it's just an exercise. You could also consider using a dictionary instead of a list, something like: radix = defaultdict(list) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
