Yes, and it goes back to "We need to know who you are, so please choose either:" The setup.py in question is the distutils.core one (from distutils.core import setup).

I only copied the relevant part, but here's the entire code if necessary: http://pastebin.com/PkB6P5fk >> but when I run it in commandline it will just repeat >> "is not a valid choice."

I run it like this: C:\Python32\python.exe setup.py register (or in the case of menu.py: C:\Python32\python.exe menu.py) -- which, when started, prints: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.

My guess is that it will claim choice is a int instead of a string. I thought so too at first, but that's not the issue: C:\Python32\python.exe menu.py Notebook Menu 1. Show All Notes 2. Search Notes 3. Add Note 4. Modify Note 5. Quit Enter an option: 1 <class 'str'> is not a valid choice. -- best regards, Robert S. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
