This would be a RTFM moment :) defaultdict is not a built-in, it is part of the collections module. You have to import collections first. >>> defaultdict Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'defaultdict' is not defined >>> import collections >>> collections.defaultdict <type 'collections.defaultdict'> -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
