Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs You need to understand what kind of data structure a "list" is. You're foundering a bit because you don't have a good understanding of your tools (the list data structure in this case.) Try going through the O'Reilly Learning Python book. Even better would be to take/audit a college/university class on data structures and algorithms. ***** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential, proprietary, and/or privileged material.
