You can try the regex page in my tutorial - under advanced topics.
Its not as in-depth as the how-to but it should get you to the point

It took a little bit of playing to limit it so that it got ONLY 3 cap
letters on either side, but I just got the riddle and just about
jumped out of my chair when it worked.
Progress is possible! ha ha!

Hello Keisha,

Well I'm currently working on a database programmers guide for my

I need to compile what it amounts to a subroutine in
the old way of looking at it.
it's a module that accepts input from another module.
need to run:
mod-A that initializes input and output files.
mod-B that acts on data from input gives output Matr
mod-C module that gets (Matr) as input and ge
Arrgh! How could I be so stupid! :)
Thanks for the help! I know many things about python, but I can't
believe that I didn't know that!
Thanx again!

Here's some quick examples:

>>> dictMe['SomeKey'] = 'SomeValue'
>>> dictMe
{'SomeKey': 'SomeValue'}
>>> dictMe[1] = 100
>>> dictMe
{1: 100, 'SomeKey': 'SomeValue'}
>>> type(dictMe)
Section 5.5 of the Python tutorial covers dictionaries a little more in depth.

Hi, this is one of those difficult questions about where to start!
I want to create a book-keeping/accounting application for my own use
1. because I can't find any that suits me, and
2. because I want to improve and extend my knowledge of Python.
Clearly this is going to be a database applicatio
