Being the duffer that I am, I'm very pleased with myself that I came up with a similar solution (albeit as a function rather than a list comprehension) :) You do not need the if statement either, print [(l[i%len(l)],t[i%len(t)]) for i in range(max(len(l), len(t)))] Regards Simon. -- Simon Hooper PARTEX MARKING SYSTEMS UK LTD _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
