Try this (untested code): for index in xrange(0, len(tmpSegs)): tmpSegs[index] = tmpSegs[index].split(self.ElemSep)
Thank you - that works nicely, and it's a much better replacement for something else I was doing to achieve the same result (you know, the old count+=1 nonsense - every day, in every way, I'm struggling to become more and more Pythonic.) Now, I did already (intellectually) understand this: A list is an array of pointers to objects, what you've done here is create a new name referencing an item in the list, then making that new name point to something different. Given that, however, I still don't entirely understand why the other examples I gave DO work. Seems it should be one or the other, no? I'm probably just being dense, though.
