Just append the position indicators, e.g. "print MyList[0][1]" will take item #0 in MyList and request its item #1. It's equivalent to saying MySubList = MyList[0] print MySubList[1] In an interactive session: >>> li = [[1,2], [3,4]] >>> li[0] [1, 2] >>> li[0][0] 1 >>> li[0][1] 2 >>> li[1][1] 4 Yours, Andrei _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
