As I wrote, my code was not optimalized for either code size or execution time. Other obvious speed-ups, apart from the one you mention, are to only search up to the square root of the number (rather than to the number minus 1), and to immediately break out of the loop once a divisor has been found. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
