Since divmod() returns a tuple, you need to unpack it. For example: >>> q, r = divmod(10, 3) >>> print q 3 >>> print r 1 If you want to store all the remainders as you go, maybe you could build up a list of remainders by starting with an empty list and append() the values to the list as you go through the loop. -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
