Hi Eric, Don't let people offput you from learning python. It's a great language, and is fun to use. But really, George does have a point -- if you want to learn python, then the best way is to swim with the tide rather than against it. But still, don't worry too much about being pythonic and whatnot (many people would disagree with me here), just write the code that _you_ (and your team) feel the most comfortable with, and helps you be the most productive. But again, many of the conventional pythonic ways to do things are such because people have tested various ways and found those to be the best. So don't just blow off convention, either. Find a happy medium between your coding style and the conventions, and then you'll really become as productive as you can be. That's my opinion. And only my opinion. But if it helps you too, that's good. :)
Ps. Do have a look at the tutorials and other guides available, they should help you out alot (e.g., the regexp tutorial [1]). [1] http://www.amk.ca/python/howto/regex/ Regards, Jordan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
