Michelle:
Are you familiar with writing functions?
Here I've created a function named getInputs.
I've also created a few test cases to verify that (a)
my understanding of the problem is correct, and (b) my
solution is correct.
It's important to think about how your program is
supposed to behave

I have made scripts that work on many files (sometimes just some tens)

OK, I've tried a different approach to this.
How do I get this to stop by using -1?
I do not want this to print until either 5 inputs have been entered or -1
has been entered. See below:

while stop != "-1":

For this case, just wanting to stop the code for testing, using a short
statement as the arg is not only OK it is an example in the doc.

Exit from Python. .. In particular, sys.exit("some error message") is a
quick way to exit a program when an error occurs.
I agree I should
It would be similar to Perl's die() commmand. But no, in Python the
argument is the error status of your script.
You'd have to do something like
def exitnow(arg):
print arg
#maybe sys has not been imported
import sys
sys.exit(1)

You haven't actually created a closure because you don't have any nested
scopes,

Hi Frank,
A couple of questions / issues here. Not really an answer, but hopefully
a start in the right direction.
Why do you need to use entity escapes at all? If you have a correct
charset declaration you can use whatever encoding you like for the web
page - latin-1, koi8-r, shift-jis, etc.
Matthew,
sys.exit() is one way to do it.
Or you could use a conditional to toggle printing the output.

Matthew,
Not sure if ipython is different but have you tried sys.exit("stoping now")
You could also put in a flag to turn the printing on and off so it wont
print it out when you are testing.
