actually i'm running it online, with a mysql db. so in the db there is a table CollegeYear with the following fields: name rating change wp then another table Games date year team_1 team_1_score team_2 team_2_score it goes through and calculates everything, then when it's time to compute the rating i have say this code: http://dpaste.com/85300/ it goes through and computes them, then add the new rating and absolute value of the changed rating to the db. what i need now is a way to get the largest entry for 'change' and if it is greater than 0.00005 then do this code again. if it is less than 0.00005 then we're done. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
