Hi Alex,

See you're still going for it :)

I think that you're trying to build a Yamoto/Musashi before you've built 
a raft from oil drums or whatever :)  If I'm wrong, I'll apologise here 
and now.

For a really great introduction to Python, I suggest diveintopython, 
it's what got me going eight years ago.

Kindest regards.
