Do you need print_msgs()? Won't it work the same with print(right_justify(input_string)) You are only feeding one line at a time into the print msgs. You could do it all in a new print_msgs() like: def print_msgs(formatter, msgs): for msg in msgs: print(formatter(msg)) And main() reduces to def main(): print_msgs(right_justify, input_strings) But I think I'd just leave it as you have it but without the print_msgs()... -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
