what about :
factors = [map(float, line.split()) for line in file]
should be a hell of a lot faster and nicer.
for line in f: factor = [] tokens = line.split() for i in tokens: factor.append(float(i)) factors.append(factor)
Is this nasty?

Oh the relief :)
Of course, line.split() is already a list.
Couple of seconds for the 10000 line file.
Thanks.
What I really want is a Numeric array but I don't think Numeric supports importing files.
