Neat. Some pythonisms you might not be aware of,

zip(range(len(num)), num) can be written as enumerate(num)

and

for i in [(0, 'zero'), (10, 'ten'), (11, 'eleven'), (12, 'twelve'), (13, 'thirteen'), (15, 'fifteen'), (18, 'eighteen')]: num[i[0]] = i[1]

can be written as

num.update({0: 'zero', 10: 'ten', 11: 'eleven', 12: 'twelve', 13: 'thirteen', 15: 'fifteen', 18: 'eighteen'})

The append() call with all the ternaries doesn't feel right it python. You'd usually just see it as a if: elif: else: block.

Awesome, thanks. I had known of enumerate, but completely forgot. I actually looked around to see if there was a built-in or library for number names, just to simplify things.

I gave the update line a try, but it says:

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'update'

Is that something from a newer version than I have? I can't search for it. Every attempt through Google takes me to the use of the word 'update' for other reasons.

No i'm an idiot. Update is for dictionaries.
