Try the following 3 commands at the console: >>> 10 >>> range(10) >>> str(range(10)) 10 is just the number 10 range(10) is a list of 10 integers in the sequence 0 to 9 str(range(10)) is? Please stop the stab in the dark trial and error coding followed by the plaintive "why doesn't it work" wailing, and put some effort into reading and understanding the manuals. If a function doesn't do what you expect with the input you think you've given it, there is invariably one of three causes: a) The input you actually gave it isn't the input you thought you gave it b) You didn't read the description of the function, and it doesn't in fact do what you thought c) Both a and b above -- Denis McMahon, denismfmcmahon@gmail.com
