This really isn't a good idea. It will take just as long as the for loop, plus it builds a list with the return code for each call to sys.stdout.write() call (which is probably None). Then after building the list with > 10,000 entries of None, it throws it away. That can't be good for performance. -- Jerry _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
