Hi everyone,

By the way, folks on the list may be interested in the 'pychecker'
utility:

    http://pychecker.sourceforge.net/

'Pychecker' can often catch typos and common bugs so that we don't get
zapped so easily.  For example, here's pychecker's output when I ran it on
reavey's basket code:

###
bash-2.05a$ pychecker basket.py
Processing basket...

Warnings...

basket.py:10: Local variable (elem) not used
basket.py:11: No global (element) found
###


Hope this helps!
