Can somebody else give it a try? Although I didn't call it out in the email, I tried to make each program progressively one line longer, so if somebody wants to write, say, an 11-line class example, then I will try fill in the gap with another 8-liner. Did I miss any basic concepts in the first 10 programs? Maybe an 8-liner could demonstrate command line arguments? ____________________________________________________________________________________Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links. http://mobile.yahoo.com/mobileweb/onesearch?refer=1ONXIC -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
