The OP's code modified arglist by .pop(0) so I maintained the same behavior. This is useful if additional arguments beyond the N named ones are used for some other purpose and you don't want to figure out how many were taken. Otherwise, if one wants to keep arglist, Dave's zip() solution is a cleaner way to go. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
