Thanks Andre I realise now I did not make it too clear. Basically the variable names are predictable but the values aren't.
Maybe I should have expressed it like this f0_n = "arbitrayValue" f0_v ="another valule" f1_n="something else" f1_v="etc.." ... f100_n = "another value" f100_v = "nexvalue" I then wish to pass the list of 2ples as an argument to a function and thus I need the variable themselves and not the string values. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
