In fact, it should produce a syntax error if it were ever executed, because the 'in' keyword requires an iterable as the second part, and has_key() returns only True or False. Therefore, I would say that line of code never executes, which means that the preceding 'if Batch1.has_key(k)' statement always evaluates to False. Which therefore means that Batch2 and Batch3 never accumulate any items, matching your observed output. -- John Gordon Imagine what it must be like for a real medical doctor to gor...@panix.com watch 'House', or a real serial killer to watch 'Dexter'. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
