Took you less time to find that than me. I, of course, realized I forgot to
empty the number list on each time through the parse loop, After I posted
;')  Seems to work okay otherwise, although criticism of Pythonicity is
welcome. I just wanted to practice tossing functions around. I'll put it
into a user input loop and work it. It won't catch everything. I have to
study regexes for that.

At this point I'm starting to lose track and have to think of better ways
to organize so I recall and understand what I'm doing. I know there are
general tuts on that but that's just reading. Is there a python-specific
tut on it where I could follow actual code along with the interpreter to
reinforce things? Or, what is the official word for
organize-so-you-don't-forget-or-get-confused so I can search google with it?
