My keen sense of pattern recognition tells me that all of your read's follow the same naming pattern--or was that just an accidental naming coincidence on your part for the sake of example? for i in xrange(number_of_reads): for dev in devs: try: _reader = getattr(dev, 'read%d' % i) _reader() except Exception, e: print e devs.remove(dev) James -- James Stroud UCLA-DOE Institute for Genomics and Proteomics Box 951570 Los Angeles, CA 90095 http://www.jamesstroud.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
