As I said, I would not need to access the sequence, if I can write d1.sort() or d1.sortkeys() > If you don't want to modify sequence, don't. If you want a copy do : > seq = d1.sequence[:] This is not needed since you can do the same with: seq = d1.keys() -- Christoph -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
