Well,
Thanks for the suggestion. I think it is a good idea to learn unix
for the Mac, and I definitely plan to do that. I thought, though,
that it would be a relatively simple matter to import the easygui
module and call its functions using the terminal window, especially
given that I have had su

I copied the above line from your e-mail and pasted it into the
terminal window. When I hit enter, I got the following output:

Okay. I typed the following two lines

I installed it by copying easygui.py from the downloaded folder,
which was on my desktop, into the folder in which the test program is
stored. Was that not okay?

Michael,
That's a fairly big project for a first timer, its obvious that you
are new to Python rather than to programming. It looks
pretty good to be honest, the main things I'd flag are:
1) Best to be specific in your except clauses. Generic
catch-anything type clauses can lead to misleading

Hi everyone,
I`ve started to dive into python a few weeks ago and am about to finish
my first script that surves a purpose, namely fetching podcasts on a
headless machine on a daily basis (fired up via cron). I use the pickle
module to save the information about the podcasts feeds and the script

I discovered something about your revers word program here. I used
the "for c in word" one.
if you type an indented print after print c, then it will print the
words vertically. Just thought I'd share that with you.

I just finished doing an exercise in a tutorial on the range function
and while I got it to work, my answer seems ugly. I'm wondering if I'm
missing something in the way I'm using the range function.
The tutorial ask me to print a string backwards. My solution works, but
