Thanks ChrisA. If I do this "aList = enumerate(numList)", isn't it stored permanently in aList now? I see your point to use it directly, but just in case I do need to hang onto it from one loop to another, then how is that done? Anyway I think I'm ok and I got what I need for now. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
