HA,HA,HA,Ha, ha, ha Well... okay, it's only tested, not verified. fulllist = ['a','apple','b','boy','c','cat'] keys = fulllist[::2] vals = fulllist[1::2] dictionary = dict(zip(keys,vals)) HTH, Jacob _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
