I suggest you simulate the loop above using pen and paper, writing the value of w and the value of l1 at each iteration. The behaviour you are observing should then be clearly explained. And you should also realise that it's a really bad idea to mutate a list that you are iterating on! HTH -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
