Note that this means you won't check the second line --- you can maybe visualise this with a simpler example: >>> a = [] >>> nums = iter(range(10)) >>> for i in nums: ... a.append((i, nums.next())) ... >>> a [(0, 1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 7), (8, 9)] -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
