First off, my apologies...Google Groups doesn't seem to want to let me reply inline.
I refrained from putting the name in there as it's potentially offensive (gotta love America). If you would aid you, I can send you the entire Python script via. email. Editor was IDLE on Slackware Linux using the ReiserFS Filesystem (not like the FS matters :P). There is not a quote mark in the docstring. What I posted for the function def is a straight-forward copy and paste. I'll try doing a hex-dump on the file and see if there's any odd bytes in there that shouldn't be. Yea, I think I did mean that. :P I hadn't yet even *begun* to work on the other areas...just working on the bit-wise math and what-not. -Wes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
