Sorry, just needing to clarify. As I may have eluded to in other posts, this is sort of a script that was written and I'm making modifications to. Due to my serious lack of experience, I'm afraid to rewrite anything. However, would I accomplish the same result by copying the lists, then breaking them apart with zip()? I haven't used that before, but I'm willing to try it as long as I don't ruin what's already been done. Unfortunately, the link you posted didn't bring up anything. I tried to search google groups and got a bunch of asian text (using comp.lang.py). Again, sorry for my lack of experience here. I do speak C somewhat. Guess I should sign this: HTDI...(hope that didn't irritate!) Sara

I believe there's also a way to use zip() to separate your list of tuples into separate lists, but I don't know how off the top of my head. You can find out if you follow these instructions though: Go to http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=comp.lang.py enter 'zip inverse', and check search Python only.
