See those '\n' characters? They mean "start a new line" in some contexts (such as text output and graphical editors). You can make python interpret them by asking it to print the output. For example: >>> s = 'Hello\n World!\n---------\n ------- \n ----- \n' >>> s 'Hello\n World!\n---------\n ------- \n ----- \n' >>> print s Hello World! --------- ------- ----- >>> Or, you could try typing "print calendar.calendar(2006)" into your console :-) -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
