Haven't tried your suggestion yet, I just wanted to comment on this last part real quick. I have the same concern, my plan is to wrap all that stuff up in a "try:" construct. In such cases the program only has to kick out a simple, sensible (for non-programmers) error message and quit. BTW, I didn't say it originally, but this is for 2.7 and hopefully it'll be easy to carry over to 3.2. Thanks, eric -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
