Since others have already pointed out what went wrong, here's a suggestion from another newbie (self), to get you quickly up to speed with Python -- http://diveintopython.org/toc/index.html and especially section 1.8. There are several great books out there, but I found Dive-into-Python very easy to follow, allowing me to make very fast progress, and getting me up to (a certain encouraging) speed, soon enough. Happy hacking. -- regards, Banibrata http://www.linkedin.com/in/bdutta http://octapod.wordpress.com
