Would you like to explain a bit more on this? Most often with Python when I have found people speaking about performance and speed, it has been associated either with incorrect expectations or some kind of design mistakes which most of us do when we are beginning. Your question on tuples vs lists is very corner case with respect to performance. It should hardly matter for most programs. If it did matter to you, I would like to know. Also, when I mentioned about expectations, it is clearly wrong for us to expect the performance of C++ in Python. A good comparison should be Java and I have found interchanging performance differences for applications in Java and Python. -- Senthil ONE LIFE TO LIVE for ALL MY CHILDREN in ANOTHER WORLD all THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES. _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
