If you see my original post my whole point was that this was exactly what i don't want. There are several algorithms out that that already do that. I want to use a table that i define from scratch to shape a stochastic process. In this case there is no original input to analyze and i don't want a chain built by analysis and i am not using necessarily texts. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
