>>> print source ['0.0', '1.0', '2.0', '3.0', '4.0', '5.0', '6.0', '7.0', '8.0', '9.0'] >>> source[:] = map(float, source) >>> print source [0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0] >>> Note the "source[:] = " part - it modifies the list in place. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
