Don't supply a traceback, lest you inadvertently divulge such information (and more!) e.g. File "C:\python26\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 15, in decode A good safeguard against accidental disclosure of your Python version is to avoid using the default installation folder: File "C:\snake_teehee_ima_comedian\lib\etc_etc" This technique, used in a question like "How can I have multiple versions of Python installed" gives a good chance of getting a grumpy response. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
