> The list above is not a valid Python list. What is it that you store in that > list? It might well be a normal Python list. The question is what type the items in the list are... The result of printing a list L is basically a string you could make like this: '[' + ','.join(map(repr,L)) + ']' It seems the elements in this list appear as something like this when you apply the repr() function on them: Tensor: id = 1, intensity = 2976.52 xx = -1447.32, xy = 52.458, xz = -594.186 yy = -1090.54, yz = -0.0158068, zz = -4043. So, the issue is not how you work with a list, but how you work with the elements of this type. To reduce the problem to that, you can assign the first element in the list to a variable. elem0 = elten[0] Then you can inspect that in isolation, without the confusion of the list. type(elem0) dir(elem0) etc... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
