Hmmm, I'm using Python 2.3 on SUSE Linux 9.2 at home, and the latest Python
on WinXP at my job (I get to do some non-work-related stuff during my
downtime at work).  So far, I haven't had any problems running my script on
either box.  Frankly, I'm finding Python to be quite easy to learn.

With a little help from the standard tutorials, this list, and my co-worker
(experienced developer), I've managed to get my menu system functioning
rather well, and can even connect to the MySQL database to print off a
member roster to the console.  All this in less than two weeks.  I even
found a better way to print the menus to the console.  These successes are
what makes developing a program exciting.

Meanwhile, I'll check out that site/code.  Again, I appreciate the help.
