Well,
I would argue that the input is a list already. If you are wanting to return a subset of the GeneCode list, I would do the following. There are more graceful ways to achieve this, but this method shows you the logic involved.

x = [0,1,2,3]
GeneCode = ['AAAA','AAAC','AAAG','AAAT']

def Li_to_GC(x):
newList = [GeneCode[i] for i in x]
return newList

print Li_to_GC(x)

In this case, you can then pass any numeric list to LI_to_GC and get the corresponding Genecodes list back.
I would check out this great List comprehension article here, and you can learn more. http://effbot.org/zone/python-list.htm

Looks like they moved to more permanent hosting. The new uri looks like http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-4.rpm.
Thanks for the heads up.

All you need to do is specify the location of the file you want to save to.

So when opening the second file, specify the directory then.
Example on win32:
file = open("my_dir\\newfile.txt","w")
Example on *nix :
file = open("my_dir/newfile.txt","w")

This will create the new file in the directory "my_dir" assuming the directory exists in the same folder as your python script. You can also specify an absolute file path as well.

Hey daonb,

the only reason I could see an issue with large files, is if the socket connection times out.
If you see this happening, check out the socket module. You can import it within this function, and set temporary timeout settings.
