Hi Jason, I was just reading this and it seems to overlap with: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0218.html I.E. uniq is equivalent to union (with self). wrt to the uniq command line tool, if you've 2 files a & b, then: uniq a b = union uniq -u a b = difference uniq -d a b = intersection So uniq really is a set operation and if Python had a set builtin type then I'm not sure a uniq method would be required? Perhaps the list object could support the union operator so to uniqify a list you could do: mylist |= mylist cheers, Pádraig.
