Its adding str (normally a builtin function) to "--"?! Maybe str is normally 
assigned a value before that and shadows the builtin, and that isn't 
happening now.

What the TypeError is complaining about is that you add two types that are 
incompatible, just as adding a function to a string should be!

Hmm... Can you send the file multifile.py, so that I can check that one? 
Please only via private mail, as many people on the list don't feel like 
downloading 30KB messages which don't interest them... :)
