Danny:
I went back and double checked all of my test files, and you were right
I was actually running an older version of test3.py. In that, the
assignment to the character separator was wrong:
lg.sc = 2.5
Having forgotten that Python allows dynamic creation of object
attributes at run time, I assumed (incorrectly) that the interpreter
would catch a misspelled attribute name. lg.sc was being assigned just
fine, leaving lg.cs blissfully unchanged. The test case caught the
error as it should, leaving me scratching my head and bothering you. A
case of C++ memory intruding into Python space.
Thank you for pointing out the real problem.
Regards,
Barry
