To find the people that moved team numbers I would tear the pairs apart. Like: >>> people = ["Tim","Bill","Sally","Ally","Fred","Fredricka"] >>> team_number = [1,1,2,2,3,3] >>> shuffle_people = ["Fredricka","Bill","Sally","Tim","Ally","Fred"] >>> shuffle_team_number = [1,1,2,2,3,3] >>> old = dict(zip(people, team_number)) >>> new = dict(zip(shuffle_people, shuffle_team_number)) >>> for name in old.keys() & new.keys(): ... old_team = old[name] ... new_team = new[name] ... if old_team != new_team: ... print(name, "went from", old_team, "to", new_team) ... Tim went from 1 to 2 Fredricka went from 3 to 1 Ally went from 2 to 3 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
