I give up (and have prepared myself for replies telling me which search strings to use on Google etc)!
How *should* I create a sequence of N empty lists (buckets)? I obviously can't use a = [[]]*N and I have found various solutions and am currently using a = map(lambda x: [], range(N)) but can't help feeling that I have missed something obvious. nhoJ -- John P Baker -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
