If there is a lot of entries in the list, I would consider using an indexed data structure such as dict. ab=['a','b','c','d'] cd=['a','c'] common=[x.upper() for x in ab if x in cd] ab_minus_cd=[x for x in ab if x not in cd] cd_minus_ab=[x for x in ab if x not in cd] requested_list = common+ab_minus_cd+cd_minus_ab- Hide quoted text - -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
