Note that the backslashes are redundant between pairs of [ ], ( ) or { }. Just write: data = ['0', 'a', '1', 'b', '2', 'c', '3', 'd', '4', 'e', '5', 'f', '6', 'g', '7', 'h', '8', 'i', '9', 'j', '~', '!', '@', '#', '$', '%', '^', '&', '*', ';'] (Not that it solves your disk wiping issue.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
