You seem to have missed out your example, but I'll guess at what you're talking about. Correct me if I'm wrong, and we'll move on from there. You want to take a sequence of 32 numbers and see if it's exactly the same sequence as some others. The easiest way to do this is with a tuple, rather than a list; then you can simply do an equality check, and they'll be checked recursively. If you want to ask, more simply, "does this 32-value unit exist in my collection of 256 acceptable 32-value units", then a set will serve you well. You can stuff tuples of integers into your set, and then query the set for a particular tuple. Does that help at all? If not, guide me to the problem you're actually solving. :) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
