Try to move the 'group = []' statement out of the for loop.
Currently, each time the block is executed, you are creating
a new empty list. You probably ended up with a list with one
integer element.

The following should work:

1.
group = []
for elem in x:
    group.append(int(elem))

group = [int(elem) for elem in x]
group = map(int, x)

I prefer the second one, but they are all correct.

I understand you perfectly - assumed I have answered your question ;)

Gerrit.
