How do you specify what goes into the first list? Based on your description, I would have expected that the output from the first iteration would be ( [(1,2),(3,4),(5,6)], [7,8] ) Regardless of the actual algorithm, if you are returning items one at a time and maintaining state in a computation, you probably want to use a generator. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Why is this newsgroup different from all other newsgroups? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
