'full' is boolean. it says whether a particular bgp announcement was for the entire ip address allocation, or is a longer prefix. e.g., if an allocation was for 666.42.0.0/16 and we heard a bgp announcement for 666.42.1.0/24 that is !full, while an announcement for the prefix 666.42.0.0/16 is full. you asked :-) > for start, end, AS, full in heard: > week = int((start-startDate)/aWeek) > if week in bin: > bin[week][not full] += 1 > else: > # I'm assuming "full" takes the values 0 or 1 > # but if not, you can coerce it with bool() > bin[week] = [full, int(not full)] hmmm. this also reads well. as an old pascal and modula-2 bondage and discipline type, i gotta say is it a breath of fresh air to be in a language and community which care about how code reads more than how clever it is. randy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
