Work through the tutorial, experiment a little in the interactive interpreter and then just do it. You need to `open()` the file, iterate over its lines in a ``for``-loop, decide to when it is time to start processing lines, and then `str.split()` the lines and put them into a `dict()`. This is a neat little project to start learning the language. Ciao, Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
