[Tutor] os.system and/or subprocess.call problem...

: Actually, no, it doesn't.  You forgot the () which are needed to
: actually _call_ the close method on the last line.
: 
:    self.fh.close
: 
: is an expression which evaluates to the close method object
: belonging to the file object self.fh belonging to the object
: instance in play here.
: 
:    self.fh.close()
: 
: on the other hand, takes that method and calls it, and evaluates
: to whatever that method call returns.

I don't know whether to be happy it's a stoopid-newbie mistake or not... :)

I am extremely grateful, however, for the help - and I already see one more
reply pointing this out, so to Emile as well, and anyone else -- my hearty
thanks. Think I'll go curl up in a ball in the corner for a while now. ;-)
