Choose: map(int(map(string.strip, yourlist)) (Python 2.2) [ int(x.strip()) for x in yourlist ] (Python 2.3) ( int(x.strip()) for x in yourlist ) (Python 2.4) Best regards, Henning Hraban Ramm Südkurier Medienhaus / MediaPro Support/Admin/Development Dept. _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
