My apologies (seriosuly). In this case, I think it might just be
haste. For what it's worth, I saw your post (on Google Groups), but I
skipped over it. You wrote two solutions, one slow and one fast (the
latter being the same as pruebono's). You put the slow one at the
top, I saw
for ...
for ...
and went straight to the next message without reading the better
solution. I knew that there was only one for loop necessary, so I
didn't bother reading on. Actually, I missed pruebono's post, too,
until after I figured it out myself (but before I posted).
That several people came up with the nigh exact same solution, modulo
variable names only, says something about the Zen of Python.
