Thanks for giving it a try. The mailing list moderation delay is making an interactive conversation a bit difficult. My current theory is that there is something wrong with the python3 installation on my CentOS-6.5 machine. I'm rebuilding from source now and I will definitely have a close look at the build logs this time and, of course, the test suite logs. When writing scripts, I've been using gedit or vi (depending on the machine I'm using), or I interact directly with the python interpreter (through a terminal). I've tinkered with IPython and Spyder but for now (while learning) they mostly just seem to introduce an unnecessary layer of complexity and obfuscation. Summary: The python and shell scripts that I posted seem to be okay (in the sense that they do what I expected them to do). I got them to run on OpenBSD without any problems. I don't know why my python3.4 build on CentOS6.5 is so wonky. After getting a clean python build from source (sometime tonight or tomorrow), hopefully the problem will go away. If not, I guess it will become a bug hunt. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
