Thanks for reading.
You must have done something different than what you're describing above to get that error message. The code you posted works as expected: >>> mylist = [ ... "Hello ", ... "Hello again " ... ] >>> print [ i + "World" for i in mylist ] ['Hello World', 'Hello again World'] -- Carsten Haese http://informixdb.sourceforge.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
