The probability affects (1) more. My reasoning for this being: as probability gets lower the number of times you have to loop over the list increases. (1) always loops over the full list, but with each successive iteration (2) and (3) are looping over smaller and smaller lists. In the end this adds up, with (1) becoming slower than (2), even though it starts out quicker. Iain -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
