Ah never mind, after closer inspection is was something on my side of the code that ruined the tuple unpacking. Also, I now understand (a little) what the string meant. 6s = A string of 6 characters 3s = String with 3 characters 1c = For the blank character B's = An unsigned char, any number I guess? h = short integer. Whatever that is. Either way, just answering myself so you don't have to explain it. :D -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
