Thanks for the reply Karl.

Hmm, I think I understand what you all are saying. Basically, my
familiar take on "code reuse" (the function model) as used in the
utility is essentially not rewriting any more of a block than what is
different, as opposed to "do all" blocks with convoluted switchi
le code structure to re-map is
shaping up otherwise.

In my original post I noted my recent exposure to Python and put up a

OK Kent - got it:My little formating function could be written as (tested) def cellpos(pname, alvl, blvl, clvl): # breakout path components into list pl = pname.split('/') # insert empty cells for repeated names and # add new path components (cells) to csvline
Such would serve to pull the test and the reason for it together -
more obvious.
Which is a good point in writing code that others may read.
Thanks Liam

Well, I've tried both and can't produce what I was doing with the for
construct.
With a listpl = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'] of the path components I'm
trying to add justified non repeated path elements, say pl[2] and pl
[3] to csvline so that csvline would end up '"",'*x plus '"c","d",'

Thank you for the critique Javier.
You made some good points that I will play with before moving on.
Beyond that, I intentionally neglected error checking in this
exercise as you may have surmised. Checking input arguments and
handling access restrictions gracefully would indeed be important

Joseph,
I'm relatively new to Python, but I might be able to help with your
question.
First, think of the convention "self" (or sometimes "me" in other
languages) as a reference to a specific instance derived from a
class. When you reference an inherited class method of an instance,

The problem with your original code is that you are printing 'yes' for
