Somehow, the list comprehension looks simpler and clearer to me: Topamax = [int(float(uni) + .5) for uni in Topamax] I really dislike lines like: roundToInt = lambda z : int(z+0.5) You've already chosen a name, but you'd rather write in the lisp style. def roundToInt(z):return int(z+0.5) takes all of _one_ more character. I also don't understand why you convert to string from unicode in: ... map(str, Topamax) ) ) float works on all string types (including unicode), and will accept some non-ASCII digit values. -- -Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
