Note that tuples are created by the comma, not the round brackets (or parentheses for any Americans reading). So the round brackets there are strictly redundant: a, b, c = [], [], [] The only times you need the brackets around a tuple is to control the precedence of operations, or for an empty tuple. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
