In Python that is probably correct in the vast majority of cases for two reasons: * lists in Python are implemented as arrays; * there is no tail call optimisation in Python. But not necessarily in other languages. In Lisp for example, recursion is *the* natural way of generating lists. -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
