Yes there is more, I was copy/pasting a bit haphazardly as I see now. You're right about the identifier, I changed it in my current code to "t". > > print " ==>> %04d %2d" % (bintm, binl) ## this is the bin > This is where you've declared that you have a bin, so add it to the bins cache: > bins.append((bintm, binl)) > > bintm = newbintm > > binl = a > > > Michael Thanks Michael, I haven't been able to read my mail so I ended up placing the append a bit differently than the way you described, and somehow got it working... your way looks much easier :-). I'm going to try that right now. I've mostly been racking my brain with this bit of code: newtm = ((klock + 4) // 5 * 5 ) % 2400 It works ok until you get to the last five minutes of the hour. For instance, 956 will return 960... oops, that's not gonna work :). I don't completely understand how this code is doing what it's doing... I've played around with different values, but it's still a bit of a mystery in coming up with a solution. My only work around that I've been able to come up with is to add 40 to newtm when the last 2 digits are at 60, but I'm still working on how to do that. Anyway, thanks for your help, mentioning the append function... that really opened up a lot of solutions/possibilities for me.
