Hi, i have a list of tuples that look like: [(1,3,5), (8,16,2), (2,56,4)] what i am interested, in is the tuple with the greatest value in pos 3. So in this case it would be (1,3,5). Is there a way to tell max(mylistoftuples) to only look at the last position of the tuples? Mario -- http://www.porcupinetree.com
