Kirby,

Perhaps it was this example (something I could understand), or perhaps 
it was that I was paying better attention, or perhaps it's that I know a 
bit more about Python now, but the example code you gave was excellent, 
and really helped me understand a thing or two about the process of 
constructing programs in Python.  I always do better when I have someone 
else's work to imitate than when I try to forge off on my own (I'm not 
very original).  I'm curious -- how long did it take you to come up with 
this module?  Although I'm new to programming, even still I think it 
would have taken me a long time to come up with something like this.

Just curious,


Erik
