a list comprehension/itertools version (this won't work with an empty list): from itertools import groupby a = [3, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15] result = [[3, 4], [6,9], [12, 14], [15, 16]] b = [ list(g)[0] for k,g in groupby(range(a[0],a[-1]+2), lambda x: x in a)] c = [ b[i:i+2] for i in range(0,len(a),2) ] assert c == result Gerard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
