+1 generally on dict comprehensions, but:

> >>> print {1 for x in listofemailaddrs} > {'barry@zope.com' : 1, 'barry@python.org' : 1, 'guido@python.org' : 1} -1 on this bit. It's not at all clear what it should mean, and the saving over writing it out explicitly, i.e. {x:1 for x in listofemailaddrs} is vanishingly small.

You're getting better at channeling me. :-)
