What are you trying to do here? p[:0] returns a new list, of all the elements in p up to element 0 (which is of course the empty list), which is then appended to, but is not stored anywhere. If you want to insert str(col) then use p.insert Iain -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
