If you are generating C code, then you can, instead, use the much maligned goto to jump directly between states. All this while/break/continue hackery is just to emulate the humble goto. Using gotos is probably about as fast as you can get. Cheers, Carl. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
