Questions, comments, and other
To all: Question 1: Does Python support relative files directly (the manuals and books I've looked don't address that type of file structure, but that doesn't necessarily mean it can't)? Question 2: One of my students is looking for "curses.py" -- does anyone know where I might find this module (given its name and the fact there is a "curses.h" in C, could I safety assume it is "dead" or at least not in common use any more...)? Comments 1: Python in Schools -- my poster for "Using Python as an Introduction to Programming for Engineering Students" has been accepted for SIGCSE 2002. Comments 2: One of my Senior Project groups is doing their presentation using VPython for "Data Structures and Sorting Algorithms by Visual Means" on Thursday, December 13th at 4:30pm at Lawrence Tech. Univ. (if you are in the Detroit area, you are welcome to attend -- e-mail me for directions and room location) Howard Whitston Lawrence Tech. Univ. whitston@ltu.edu

I have used curses.py quite recently on RedHat Linux. I suppose it's more common to find it on a Unix box than on Windows.
I agree. I'm quite sure it doesn't even install on Windows. --- Patrick K. O'Brien Orbtech.com - Your Source For Python Development Services Phone: 314-963-3206
