Not exactly sure what you're looking for but you can do the following: def dosomething(numlist): return numlist[0] + numlist[1]
numlist = [ 5, 10] val = dosomething(numlist) If so, that would be somewhat pointless. It's always best to keep it simple. It looks like the function you wrote above is very adequate for the results you want returned. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
