Hm, I don't know what pipermail does with whitespace but the formatting in the message at https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2016-December/717758.html is not the same as the message I sent from Outlook. Again, it should have been: if len(l1[st]) == 0: if len(l2[st]) > 0: l1[st] = l2[st] elif len(l2[st]) == 0: if len(l1[st]) > 0: l2[st] = l1[st] (Maybe keeping the left edge flush with the left margin will help keep the mail processors straight. I've never tried emailing python code before.) As Mr. Bieber points out, what I had above greatly benefits from the use of conjunctions. It now reads: if not len(l1[st]) and len(l2[st]): l1[st] = l2[st] elif not len(l2[st]) and len(l1[st]): l2[st] = l1[st] (I plead being cross-eyed from rewriting this section so many times for not seeing this.) I'm still wondering if these 4 lines can be collapsed to one or two lines. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
