Yep! You use list slicing. Working with smaller numbers for an example: >>> ltrs=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', >>> 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z'] >>> ltrs[:10] ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j'] >>> ltrs[10:20] ['k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't'] >>> ltrs[20:] ['u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z'] (I actually created that list as "list(string.ascii_lowercase)" for what that's worth.) Slice operations are quite efficient. Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
