Start by translating this into for loops, rather than while, and then it'll be much easier to put all the differences in the signature. Tell me if this translation is faithful: def jump_to_blockD(self): for row in range(self.w.cursor[0], len(self.b)+1, 1): try: new_col = self.b[row].index('def') self.w.cursor = row, new_col break except ValueError: pass def jump_to_blockU(self): for row in range(self.w.cursor[0], -1, -1): try: new_col = self.b[row].rindex('def') self.w.cursor = row, new_col break except ValueError: pass Try those two, see if they function the same as your original code. If they do, you should be able to figure out how to merge them, in their new form. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
