Or even: bits = [ 0 ] * 16 Just be careful to only use that style when the contents of the array are non-mutable. The list comp does the right thing in that case (at risk of going on a tangent): Right: >>> bits = [ { } for i in range ( 16 ) ] >>> bits [{}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}] >>> bits [ 0 ][ 'a' ] = 1 >>> bits [{'a': 1}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}] Wrong: >>> bits = [ {} ] * 16 >>> bits [ 0 ][ 'a' ] = 1 >>> bits [{'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}, {'a': 1}] >>> Regards, Cliff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
