Thanks for all the help, I'm not sure what approach I'm going to try but I think I'll try all of your suggestions and see which one fits best.
The variable "i" held the following array: [['Memory', '0', 'Summary', '0'], ['Memory', '0', 'Speed', 'PC3200U-30330'], ['Memory', '0', 'Type', 'DDR SDRAM'], ['Memory', '0', 'Size', '512'], ['Memory', '0', 'Slot', 'DIMM0/J11'], ['Memory', '0', 'ConfigurationType', '2'], ['Memory', '1', 'Summary', '0'], ['Memory', '1', 'Speed', 'PC3200U-30330'], ['Memory', '1', 'Type', 'DDR SDRAM'], ['Memory', '1', 'Size', '512'], ['Memory', '1', 'Slot', 'DIMM1/J12'], ['Memory', '1', 'ConfigurationType', '2'], ['Memory', '2', 'Summary', '0'], ['Memory', '2', 'Speed', 'PC3200U-30330'], ['Memory', '2', 'Type', 'DDR SDRAM'], ['Memory', '2', 'Size', '512'], ['Memory', '2', 'Slot', 'DIMM2/J13'], > Where is the fetch object defined?

Fetch is declared a few lines up in the program with this fetch=iter(ed) it just goes through the array and returns the next part of it. >> query[count]=qval+i[2]+"="+i[3]+", " >Impossible to know what this does since we don't know what i is. Hint: it >is easier to read and parse expressions by adding a small amount of >whitespace: I am trying to assign each new memory slot to a new part in the array. So when memory is either 0,1,2,3 it will assign it to query[0], query[1], query[2], query[3] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
