Oh, perfect.  That's exactly the form I've got my data in already.  I
couldn't ask for anything better.

Now I get to see how Python behaves with a list with 160,000 items in
it.  (Probably no different than a list with 1, I bet.)

I already do.  But you have to start somewhere, and it might as well be
right down there at the undifferentiated quark level;-)

<everyone-should-write-an-xlib-program.-once>-ly y'rs,

PS:  Thanks, /F!

One of the (many) nice things about this list:  After two days, I hadn't
received any replies to my question, so I *knew* it was because the
message hadn't made it through.

This is the only mailing list I'm on for which this is invariably the
case; all the others, it's quite likely that you'll be ignored for days
or weeks on end. ...
