hi,
Although not a question, i just want to tell you guys how awesome you are!
I am not a programmer, i can do a bit of bash. I have never officially
learnt programming, but numerous times looked at some perl, c, java
and never really gotten past the beginning stages of it. That all
changed when

Unpacking is rarely needed. It matches some kind of problems.
Imagine you parse "codes" each made of name-sep-number. T

@DaveA: thanks for pointing it out.
For a origin-centre circle x**2 + y**2 = r**2, I assumed r to be integer,
however it was r**2 which was integer. A mistake on my part.

Forgive the top-posting, but when in Rome...
Running 'chcp' at the command line will show the default code page. Judging
from the OP's name it is probably an Arabic version of Windows.
Since Python 2.6 works it probably is falling back to something besides
cp720. Try:

Hi Martin,
Thanks for a very detailed response. I'm about to head out, so I

However, I had one thing I felt I should respond to.
