Nope. Not it. > 2. Whitespace before the shebang BINGO! ....we have a winner. ;) I thought for sure that was not correct. No white space before the sheba.... Wait a minute! Howzabout a blank line above the shebang? D0H!! These are the minute details that bedevil the poor noob. I've read dozens of tutorials on different prog langs and have never read a single thing on white space or blank lines preceding a shebang. Till now. I always get frustrated and give up on learning programming, not really caring much for coding, anyway. But, dammit, I'm gonna stick with it this time. I'll learn python if it kills me! ....that is, if you folks can stand all my dumb questinons. ;) Thank you, Ivan, and other repondents. nb ....back to while loops -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
