Hi Kishra, In the words of the old joke(*) why not just 'get out and get back in' and see if that fixes it? In other words I'd try a reinstall of Python, it looks like something has gone missing or got corrupted... Alan G. (*)Three guys are in a car that breaks down. The first says "I'm an Elect

Wow, that code is much more compact, thanks for the help! But as far as the original question goes, I think I worded my problem wrong. The output you got with your binary string is almost what I Want, but not quite. I need each subset of binary strings to be n bits long (in the dummy problem you

[Tutor] How to Pass lists by value

2005-12-05 Thread Hans Dushanthakumar
Hi folks, How do I pass a list by value to a function. The foll: snippet of code produces the output as shown: Code: - def junk(x): x.append("20") return x a = ["10"] b = junk(a) print b print a Output: --- >>> b = ['10', '20'] a = ['10', '20'] This indicates that the

Thanks guys   Yes either of the foll solves the problem:   b = junk(copy.copy(a))  OR b = junk(a[:])     Why is there a difference between the way the two lines (x.append("20")  and x = "30") are handled within a function?   From: Adam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 6 December 2
