[Tutor] TLlistmaster.py

[Kirk D Bailey]

To whoever feels like it;
I have got TLlistmaster.py almost complete. There is one minor bug in
there. Regretfully, it's a tiny little stinkbug and it is driving me
crazy(ier).

First, take a look at the script as it stands this very instant- page
inherently self updates.

http://www.howlermonkey.net/TLlistmaster.shtml

Second, there is no error code, but it fails to see the presence of
the subject line in the pending file.

Here is the screen capture from a sample run:
(beware wordwrap)
ns# ./TLlistmaster.py < testfile
From:= highprimate@howlermonkey.net
Subject field as extracted:='Re: join highprimate@howlermonkey.net
evil-humor 1010287984'
CLEANED UP subject line='join highprimate@howlermonkey.net evil-humor
1010287984'
command='join'
oldfrom='highprimate@howlermonkey.net'
listname='evil-humor'
Pending action='join testcode@howlermonkey.net testlist3 1010173860'
This person wants to join'evil-humor' list!
cannot find subject in pending file!
ns# 

I included a LOT of print statements in the program to generate all
these status reports. The language's interpeter is not creating ANY
errors.

I am stumped for the moment, and tired, and battling with a cranky
isp, so I think I will smoke a house pipe and drink some fine coniac
and go night night, but feel free to look at this, and write me some
questions, answers, suggestions, pithy things to double check, evil
jokes, etc...

So close... SO close...












end

In total confusion,
