I meant to forward this to tutor@python.org.  Sorry about that, David.

Hi David,

You probably meant to send this to the address 'tutor@python.org'.  The
address that you sent to, 'tutor-admin@python.org', is for administrative
stuff.  I'll forward the message for you.

Good luck to you!

OK guys, bear with me - this is my first EVER foray into Python, but I think
I may have stumbled clumsily into a solution (of sorts)....

Here goes....

*****

def timestab(n):
    m = 1
    if i < 13:
               while m < 14:
                       print "%d x %d = %d" % (m,n,m*n)
                       m = m + 1
    else:
               print "Only positive numbers between 1 and 12 please!"


i = input('Try a number ')
print timestab(i)

*****


This seems to work OK (but I guess there will be far cleaner, neater ways to
do it), and it doesn't get rid of the "None" at the bottom of the list...

But anyway, since this was my first ever go with Python, I'm quite pleased
with myself nonetheless!!  *LARGE GRIN*

Cheers

DT

That's got rid of the error message, thanks.
It now just squares the number that the user inputs, and also returns 'None'
on the line below (confused?).

I am thinking I need a range command to get it to do multiply within a
range. I have just tried adding:
	For n in range(1,13):
Between the 'def' line and the if statement with no result. Oh well, gives
me something else to ponder on during an otherwise boring day at work. :-)

I'm still a newbie to python so I am taking my best guess in saying to
un-indent the print that is causing the error.
