Practice, largely, so you're doing the right thing (provided you don't trust your /real/ backup data to a tutorial program). If you find that the program is at its neatest when it's just a couple of methods in one class, it was a procedural problem. Actually, from your description of the problem -- that the interest is in all the "what if" cases -- suggests that it's a specification problem rather than a design or implementation problem, so rather than recoding it it might be worth looking at various approaches to requirements capture and specification. -- Tim Rowe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
