Emile: sorry, the way I was quoting earlier posts was unclear. I was refering to the post you quoted in your message, which describe the nested list comprehension as abuse. As supporting evidence for my reply I included your example of nested list comprehension, which is one of the simplest possible ones one can think of. -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
