Hi, I'm not sure, if I got the requirements for your code completely, but is: [x for x in range(512) if not (x // 8) % 2] what you need? In any case, if you use python lists you should be able to join them using their extend() or itertools.chain() ########################### print [x for x in range(512) if not (x // 8) % 2] nested_lst = [[1,2],[4,5],[6,7,8,9],[10,11,12]] flattened_list_1 = list(itertools.chain(*nested_lst)) print flattened_list_1 flattened_list_2 = [] for sublist in nested_lst: flattened_list_2.extend(sublist) print flattened_list_2 hth vbr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
