Greetings,
Perhaps the first thing you should do, before checking
whether the user entered '' instead of '2000' is to
get the leap year function working properly.
Definition:
Leap years occur according to the following formula:
a leap year is divisible by four,
but not by one hu

That's because "x.isalnum()" will return True if "x" is not empty and
it's content are *either* an Alpha or a Number (which

Ha Ha Ha It appears I was having a very blond day.
For some reason, I was mentally verbalizing to myself, each time I
looked at x.isalnum(), "X IS-ALL-NUMBERS",
instead of "X IS-Alpha-Numeric". I remember thinking..if one can

First, alnum() checks for alpha-numeric characters so
will allow both alphabetic characters and numerics.
BUT in python its better to ask forgiveness that permission

Alan,
Wow! Those changes radically change the program!
Is there a way to get the try-exception to cause the end user questions
to be repeated until acceptable answers are given? Like a kind of
"return"
or "repeat" command that could be added to the except side of things?

Dear All,
I have some utf-8 unicode text with lines like this:
ANVERS-LE-HOMONT, Maine.
ANGOULÊME, Angoumois.
ANDELY (le Petit), Normandie.
which I'm using as-is in this line of code:
place.append(line.strip())
What I would prefer would be something like this:
place.append(line.title().strip

What happens if you specify the starting directory as a Unicode string,
