I quite often need to do something like:

...which would give you the minimal list of firstnames of people who live in Africa. A bit contrived but I seem to bump into lots of real world cases where I need to do similar.
What I currently have to do is the brutal and slow approach of "walk through the results" :-S
But Anthony came up with a great suggestion:
What would make more sense (maybe?) is results = MyCatalog(meta_type='Person',continent='Africa',uniqueValuesFor='FirstName')
What do other people think? Is there a nice fast way of implementing this?
cheers,

possibly, yes. I'll look to add this to my CatalogQuery product. I believe the btrees can be pressed into service here... -- | Casey Duncan | Kaivo, Inc. | cduncan@kaivo.com `------------------>
