xrange is only picked as an example. I may be newbie on python but not that dumb if all I want is a list of integer(sorted) that meets certain criteria. takewhile(p, (x for x in some_function_that_could_potentially_generate_a_long_list_of_elements_but_first_element_that_meets_the_condition_can_come_fast(*args,**kwargs))) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
