No worries. I found the site at http://www.lisp.org/alu/home to be

the default is to sort the list by the

want to sort on is first in all of the tuples (see the 'sorter = ...'

unctuation does not include whitespace
characters. Although that is no problem in this example, because
split() strips its component strings automatically, people should be
aware that punctuation won't work on strings that haven't had their
whitespace stripped.

If I recall correctly, there is not a direct way. Instead, you're

Why not just take them out of the block, and either make them global

You might want to tighten this question up and ask it on python-list.
This is pretty specialized knowledge for the python-tutors list, and I
know for a fact that
r functions in order. There's nothing
technically wrong with what you're doing, as long as you don't exceed
the maximum recursion depth, but it's a pain to debug and takes up a
whole bunch of memory you don't need.

cks are equivalent to the str()
function which creates strings (or is it repr()? I can't remember;
it's generally bad form to use back ticks anyway). Double quotes are
the same as single quotes.

No worries, we've all been there before. Sometimes you just can't see
what's right in front of your face.
Don't let it stop you, or stop you from
ctual object it encloses has changed.
I hope this makes sense, and maybe clears up a little of your
confusion about variables in Python. It is a bit confusing, even for
experienced pythonistas, so ask questions if you don't get it (and
you're interested). If not, you can get away without worrying about it
for the most part.

1) Linked lists are almost always worthless in python. Why not use a
list instead?
2) what's being printed is a function reference - i.e. you're doing:
self.a_dir_instance.getSize
instead of:
self.a_dir_instance.
