Thanks, Kent.

But how do I move on? All I get is the above warning.

For example, I put "import pychecker.checker" at the top of mycalc.py, my 
collection of functions. Does getting only that warning mean that 
mycalc.py has no problems? I've tried inserting some obvious errors, but 
then Python refuses to execute mycalc, as it should.
