answer?
Thanx.

def festivos():
    fest = [ 'Any Nou:\t\t\t1 de enero',
             'Reis:\t\t\t\t6 de enero',
             'Festa del Treball:\t\t1 de mayo',
             'Sant Joan:\t\t\t24 de junio',

    return char * num

# --- Main ---

print "Los festivos fijos anuales son:\n"
for element in dias:
    sep = separador( 50, '-' )

    # If I turn off encoding latin-1, accented characters look
    # wrong when I output them to a file from the command line, but
    # if I turn on encoding, accented characters look
    # wrong in the console view.
    print element.encode( 'latin-1' )

    print sep
raw_input()
