Peter, I need to do a lot of union and intersection operations on these elements. So, set is a must for me in this case. In the particular case, I have to read an attribute from any one of the elements, which one doesn't matter because this attribute value is same across all elements in the set. - Suresh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
