Here you are not adding two items (a 4 and a 2) but only a single item (a tuple, containing within it a 4 and a 2). What did you really want to do? > quene.append((3,6)) > if(4 in quene): #Shows false, what's the correct syntax to > show true? Since you don't have a 4 in your list, there is no correct syntax. If you did have a 4, that would be the correct syntax, or you could use queue.index(4) instead if you cared *where* it was in the list. > remove 4 from quene #(Not python code, not sure how to do this...) queue.pop(0) will pop an item off the front of the list, which is the end opposite where .append() puts them. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
