Try backdenting that statement. You're currently doing it at every iteration of the loop - that's why it's so much slower. But you'll probably find it better to work with the set directly, instead of uniquifying a list as a separate operation. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
