Heh, it wasn't obvious that list(xxx) copies data either (I thought of it as being like a typecast), but I just checked, and it does copy. I'll have to remember to do it like that. I do like it better than xxx[:] which is what I'd been using because I remember seeing that the copy module does it that way. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
