Nope, list() produces a new list object containing the keys of the dictionary. In the old day(of python 2) you used to get the same effect using for key in mydict.keys() but keys() now returns a funky view of the original dict keys and I suspect you'd have the same problems when deleting items. So Peter's list() is probably the best option. -- 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
