When you say you want to learn Python, what's the nature of the "want
to" part? Looking to write a game, land a job, parse a log file?
Perhaps if you focus on what it is you want to do, that will lead the way.

Yes, the time module in the standard library
Thanks (to Alan, as well). I had a wild suspicion that there would be
a fairly standard solution to this one. I've just never had to really
look into it before.

I've got a weekly project here in which I have to take a somewhat
arbitrary number of input files, create working directories in which
to process each of them, and call other programs from within the scope
of those directories.
The source files are in a directory named 'orig' under the project

Komodo (by ActiveState). For web dev in dynamic languages, it's tough
to actually beat.
I scored mine at a $100 discount thanks to a coupon ActiveState handed
out at PyCon this year.

It may be worthwhile to note that "laziness" isn't necessarily a
derogatory term in programming circles. To quote Eric S. Raymond, who
turned me on to Python as much as any other (in _The Art of Unix
Programming_), "Constructive laziness is one of the cardinal virtues
of the master programmer."

I'm trying to think of the best way to go about this one, as the files
I have to sort are *big*.
They're ASCII files with each row consisting of a series of
fixed-length fields, each of which has a corresponding format file.
(To be specific, these files are FirstLogic compatible.)

Ahh, yes. Your main trouble seems to be the use of \ instead of / in
'C:\testing_it.txt'
Windows uses \, whereas python uses /. So you can replace 'c:\'
with your choice of the following:
'c:/' (replacing \ with /)
r'c:\' (the 'r' before the string tells python it's a raw string)
'c:\

To keep the information, the simplest solution is simply to save it in
a text file that the program can load into memory when it starts up
again. For sensitive information like passwords, a little extra fuss
is generally merited.
When someone logs in, you can save a value like
time.strftime(time.c

I should already know this, and probably once did, but have never had

What's a nice, clean way to recursively scan through directories with
an arbitrary number of subdirectories?

I pasted your code into a new window and gave it a go. You used tabs
for indentation (or they got in there somewhere in the
