Replies for: I'm no noob, but here it is(less lines and more pythonic): def distance(strand_a, strand_b): if len(strand_a) != len(strand_b): raise ValueEr...

Both are great! But, it feels weird to create and throw away a list just for its length. I thought this generator expression solution was clever:

count = sum(1 for x, y in zip(strand_a, strand_b) if x != y)

Way smarter, totally tosses the array. Absolutely, and perfecly, pythonic.
