u, v, w, x, y, z = 'this is a python coding group'.split() But if you have a variable number of words this isn't practical in Python 2, though Python 3 has features that make it easier. The real question is "what is the larger goal you are trying to achieve". Where a programmer is trying to create names dynamically there are usually better ways to proceed. Could you tell us a little more about what you are trying to do? regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
