I have the program working nearly as I want it to be. The only
problem is,
that when the user is prompted to enter its chosen word, (I am using
a raw
input) and the word is typed in, it shows in the line above,
Take a look at the getpass module.

The asterisk is quite unusual but basically means
substitute the next argument but treat it as part of

Hi Alan thanks for the help. I did try the getpass module, I think I used:
getpass.getpass()
This actually prompted the user to enter a password, which isn't really what
I want. Unless there's something i'm missing with this module? I'll take
another look anyway.

Ah, you're absolutely right. Sorry, I misunderstood you and your '*'.

Friends,
I have to extract the line from a file that does not contain a set of
strings in the start of the line, i wrote the following code.
for index, line in enumerate(myvar.split('\n')):
if line.startswith('') not in ['#Cluster','#Centroid','#End']:
line=line.split()
print l

Heres what I did:
Search Google for "Python format strings" and from the first link click
on String Formatting operations in the contents pane:

I was wondering if there was a way to program a new window using Tkinter so
that a one-billion digit number could fit, instead of in the system window,
which dumps numbers once they fill up the screen. I know that it would take
me days to read all of the numbers, but that is not my intention. Thank
