Actually, it was the "usual bit about in module" that might *be*
helpful. ;) Often, something can be determined by the sequence of
function calls listed there. Though I suppose, now that I think of
it, that since your code is all module-level, there wouldn't be any
function stack in this case... Still, in general, when asking for
help with something that throws an exception, it's always best to copy
& paste the entire text of the exception.
One thing that I've noticed, which I thought was just a typo in your
original email but which is duplicated again here (it's not present on
the web page you linked to) -- you have a mismatched parenthesis in
your len() call. It's "[ ... len(endstr]" -- there's no ')' to close
the function call. Given that this typo isn't on the web page, I'm
not sure whether it's actually there in the code you're running or
not. I'd have *thought*, however, that if it *is* present, you'd get
a syntax error rather than a memory error, so it's probably not there
but you should check it anyhow. :)
