I'd like to do it in one line because what I am trying to do is, after all, a single, simple enough action. I find the suggested b = sorted(a.keys()) much more readable than breaking it up in two lines. In the long run, I guess it's a matter of personal taste... Do I get payed less for more source code? Since I'm a student, I don't get payed at all, regardless of number of lines :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
