It is advice. > runner.py:200: Function (detectMimeType) has too many returns (11) > > The function is simply a long "else-if" clause, branching out to different > return statements. What's wrong? It's simply a "probably ugly code" advice? That is also advice. Generally you use a dict of functions, or some other structure to lookup what you want to do. > _must_ take two arguments; is there any way that I can make 'frame' go away? Yes, you can name it just _ (underscore). There are a few other names like that that are ignored.

Look at triple quoting as well. Roger -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
