[Tutor] Graphics coordinates

-code, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if there are existing modules that do almost (or even better, exactly) what I need.   I work on WinXp, Linux, and WindowsCE. WindowsCE has a fairly plain-vanilla Python build, so it's better if I stick to the core modules as far as possible.

And now for something only slightly different: education research shows that people process "positives" far more quickly and accurately than "negatives", so for readability I often code like:   if os.path.exists('filename')     #no-operation else     #operation   YMMV, of course.   Ron At 08:5

[Tutor] CGIXMLRPCRequestHandler doesn't actually work, does it?

I believe I've tried every setting known to man, in every script in every little scrap of documentation available. XMLRPC requests using SimpleXMLRPCRequestHandler -- no problem. But try to run them as a CGI script, and I get system lock ups and that's all. No error codes; no response whatsoever.

You might also consider JSON (http://www.json.org), which is generally lighter weight than XML, fairly human-readable, and useful in several languages (most, anymore) .
