Why not use both recursion and generators? def f2(n): if n > 0: n2, x = divmod(n, 26) yield x for next in f2(n2): yield next Could this be considered functional? Anyway, I wonder if there is a more elegant way to do the "yield x... yield next" part. Any ideas? arnau -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
