But you may have to demonstrate a 1:1 correspondence with counting numbers, to prove that it's countably infinite. And that's pretty much what the enumerate() function does, so that's enumeration.... right? Bizarre pseudo-logic for the win. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
