This is indeed quite ugly. You rarely need such loops in Python and with some thinking you can often translate the C-equivalent to something more pythonic. As you guessed, your second problem is best solved with a generator function - xrange(). It is completely equal to range() except that it returns a generator instead of a list. -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
