Python starts counting from zero so to access the first item in x it would be x[0]. When you do x[10] you actually are requestting the 11th value in x instead of the 10th and this does not exist. You should be able to fix this yourself now. Greets Sander _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
