It's an elegant usage :-), zipping up slices of the same list to compare consecutive elems in it, hmm neat. -- Kamal > > -- > Rich "Roadie Rich" Lovely > > There are 10 types of people in the world: those who know binary, > those who do not, and those who are off by one. > -- There is more to life than increasing its speed. -- Mahatma Gandhi _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
