I'd use xrange there. Anyway, I have always felt that Python syntax not easy to understand at first sight, expecially when you try to convert a bit more complex inverted for loops from/to C to/from Python. It's one of the few cases where (for example) Pascal (loop) syntax wins a bit over Python syntax :-) Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
