You access the elements by indexing: >>> a=divmod(10, 3) >>> a[0] 3 >>> a[1] 1 You can also use tuple assignment to assign the two values to two variables (you can use other names than div and mod): >>> div, mod = divmod(10, 3) >>> div 3 >>> mod 1 BTW you can't put an assignment in an if statement in python so your original code might be written as div, mod = divmod(x, y) if div...

If you can use a list instead of a tuple you can use the index() method.
>>> words = ["you", "me", "us", "we", "and", "so", "forth"]
>>> words.index('me')
1
>>> words.index('so')
5
There is no index() method for a tuple. This is probably because in
GvR's view, tuples are analogous to records - they are heterogeneous
collections where position matters. Lists are for homogeneous
collections. In this view, tuple.index() doesn't make sense.
list.index() is documented here:
http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-mutable.html
You found the right chapter of the Lib Ref but the wrong section.

I think in other applications this might have a shot. In this situation I am using diskless workstations with minimal configurations, so gnome libraries will not be an option. At this point I'm going to go with vmstat. Thanks ds ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Although as I mentioned in reply to others who responded to my question that top can run just once, top actually provides much more information than I am intending to use, making it seem a little wasteful. vmstat is much more focused on exactly the information I want. Although I am using linux pretty much exclusively these days, there's still a lot that I don't know and I wasn't aware that it existed.
