One thing that immediately comes to mind is use xrange instead of range. Also, instead of first = ['%d' % i] rest = ['%d' % randint(1, mx) for i in range(wd - 1)] return first + rest you might save some copying with: rest = ['%d' % randint(1, mx) for i in xrange(wd)] rest[0] = '%d'%i return rest That's uglier than the old-fashioned rest = ['%d'%i] for i in xrange(wd-1): rest.append('%d' % randint(1, mx)) I think a generator would be cleanest, but maybe slowest: def row(i, wd, mx): yield '%d' % i for j in xrange(wd-1): yield ('%d' % randint(1, mx)) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
