Thanks. I think this will work fine. If I paste the above in a python
shell it's perfect. And if I paste it into my code it errors out ...
so I have to look a bit more. Always the problem with one-liners if
figuring out where the error is. I think it's just a naming thing ...
I'm sure I'll get it soon. I'll shout if I find more problems.
Best,
