George - I am not trying to be negative in any way whatsoever. 0 - In my first post in this thread, i was just being sarcastic. 1- I have been using python for more than an year or so. Just not an avid user as probably you are. 2. You suggest me to ask a "REAL" question. Real is a relative word. What is real to you might not be real to lets say Guido van Rossum. I met him a few months ago and he was very humble to all the stupid questions i had. 3 The board does not specify the level of python developers who can post questions. 4 -I have always heard that python community is based on sharing and helping each other. Please keep those spirits up. Thanks for replying and sorry for wasting your time. TK -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
