Thanks Terry, However, chop ignores the remainder of the data in the example. >>> t = (i for i in range(30)) >>> c =chop (t, 7) >>> for ch in c: ... print ch ... (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20) (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27) k -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
