Hi Diez, thanks for the quick reply. To be honest I'm relatively new to Python, so I don't know too much about how all the loop constructs work and how they differ to other languages. I'm building an app in Django and this data is coming out of a database and it looks like what I put up there! This was my (failed) attempt: predictions = Prediction.objects.all() scores = [] for prediction in predictions: i = [prediction.predictor.id, 0] if prediction.predictionscore: i[1] += int(prediction.predictionscore) scores.append(i) I did have another loop in there (I'm fairly sure I need one) but that didn't work either. I don't imagine that snippet is very helpful, sorry! Any tips would be gratefully recieved! Thanks, Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
