I am a student, so I have the /obligation/ to behave childish. :)

Well, I have read "Learning Python" from O'Reilly and it's true that
spam is not really explained in detail. It, and it's link to Monty
Python is explained, though. But you can check out the O'Reilly book
about Internet Spam (I forgot the name), where the origin of the term is
coined as coming from a Monty Python song.

Well, I like to associate the Python name more with this bad*ss large
snake that crushes its prey. It just sounds meaner. }:-)> But Monthy
Python's OK, too.

Ahem, isn't there Tkinter included? Just like the batteries?

Kudos, Dietmar
