What are you using to iterate through pairs instead of individual elements? It sounds like it is not very flexible. I would recommend instead using the "grouper" recipe from the itertools documentation: http://docs.python.org/library/itertools.html#recipes Cheers, Ian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
