well, you've gotten a lot of good answers, so let me chime in with a really ugly one: >>> ''.join(['0000000',str(random.randrange(00000000,99999999))])[-8:] '00101381' (I don't really recommend this, but this is pretty much akin to the prefered way in IBM's EXEC2 language as I used to use it some 25 years ago!) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
