roundToInt = lambda z : int(z+0.5) Topamax = map( roundToInt, map( float, map(str, Topamax) ) ) (Python also has a built-in round() function, but this returns floats, not ints - if that is okay, then just delete the lambda definition, and replace roundToInt with round.) -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
