Much useful info. Back to the drawing board. By the time I fix it all, the error will probably disappear of its own accord since it didn't appear on some simple testing of the error by itself. And since it didn't appear in Linux, which I don't have, it may be a windows-only response I can get around by changing the code a bit.
But I do like the idea of using plain old words, like "bad" as a switch, instead of some inscrutable program-switch ;') Jim Jim _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
