Yeah, I'm starting to see the distinction now. I think one thing that confused me was that C# had two separate loops for these functionalities, the for loop and the foreach loop (which is equivalent to Python's for). But even when just doing something a number of times (C#'s for, Python's for), it looks much cleaner in Python because you don't have the long, messy three-part for statement. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
