I assume DS is a class? to create an instance of a class, call the class object: L = [] while X: ds = DS() ds.name = "ASDF" ds.id = 1234 L.append(ds) spending some time with the tutorial might help: http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html (lists are described in chapter 3, classes in chapter 9) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
