If I`m not mistaken, your posting is written in, or at least sent as,
HTML. Not smart when posting to newsgroups. I don`t actually care, but
you`ll get alot of flak from text-based-newsreading-hardcore kinda
people. And most people, probably the same group, will not bother to
send answers directly to your email adress, but send it all to the
newsgroup. I`ve tried this and that`s how I know. ;->

Did I answer your python-question? Well ....
