That's a good question because I failed miserably in explaining my problem clearly. My original question isn't what I'm trying to solve. My apologies. I will try to explain here clearly. I'm using a 3rd- party library named Selenium (used for web-automation) and it has a method named is_element_present(ele) i.e. takes one element and return true if it finds this element in the page's HTML and returns false otherwise. Given this, I'm just trying to write a method are_elements_present(aList) whose job is to return True if and only if all elements in aList are present in page's HTML. So here is how are_elements_present() looks like def are_elements_present(eleLocators): elePresent=False if not eleLocators: return False for ele in eleLocators: if selenium.is_element_present(ele): elePresent=True else: elePresent=False print 'cannot find this element= '+str(ele) break return elePresent Now suppose page HTML contains with these IDs ( ID is an attribute like <input id="inp1" />) = div1,div2,div3,div4,div5,inp1,inp2 and if I call the above method this way are_elements_present ([div1,div2,inp1,inp2]) then it should return True. If I call like are_elements_present([div1,div2,div10,inp1]) it should return False. So I hope I've explained myself. Now all I'm looking for is to write are_elements_presents() in a more Pythonic way. So please let me know if I can write are_elements_present() in more smart/shorter way. Thanks a lot for your help, in advance. Best regards, Oltmans -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
