note that this is pretty inefficient, as it starts at the start of 
the list each time through the loop. I know my python hindbrain tends 
to prick up it's little ears whenever it sees my stupid frontbrain 
write code like "foo in listobj" to make sure I shouldn't be using 
something like a dictionary instead.
