Newbie help

[Francis Girard]

Sorry.
You have my cheers.

I'm suggesting you to use the python debugger through some GUI ("Eric3" 
http://www.die-offenbachs.de/detlev/eric3.html for example is a nice and easy 
to use GUI). It will greatly help you appreciate Python control flow in 
execution and you will learn a lot more trying to find your bugs that way. It 
sometimes help to suffer a little. But, of course, I think you will always 
find an helping hand if needed.

Regards

Francis Girard
