The problem with that is that it has to become a method of _every_ iterable type, which means it becomes part of the protocol of iterables. Much easier to make it a built-in function, which can then accept any iterable based only on the __iter__ method. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
