Here's a solution, from the iterools documentation. It may not be the /most/ beautiful, but it is short, and scales well for larger groupings: >>> from itertools import izip >>> def groupn(iterable, n): ... return izip(* [iter(iterable)] * n) ... >>> list(groupn(myList, 2)) [(0, 1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 7), (8, 9), (10, 11)] >>> list(groupn(myList, 3)) [(0, 1, 2), (3, 4, 5), (6, 7, 8), (9, 10, 11)] >>> list(groupn(myList, 4)) [(0, 1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6, 7), (8, 9, 10, 11)] >>> for a,b in groupn(myList, 2): ... print a, b ... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 >>> Jeffrey -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
