I commend you for not waiting until the last minute. And I'm glad you are making progress with this assignment, with Bart's help. I am curious though. What class is this and how do you find yourself, a non-programmer as you say, in this class? When I was a student studying CS, what you describe is typical for CS major classes. IE the teacher wasn't there to teach a language, rather he or she was there to teach the theory and possible real-world application of the subject matter, often algorithms, or database design. In fact I had one class where the text book had all its examples and exercises in one language (C), the professor preferred and taught using examples from another langauge (Object PASCAL), and I did all my projects in a third language, C++. Poor TAs. They had to be able to check of projects written in 3 different languages. Now I hear the class is taught in Java. Poor souls. But I digress. What is this class called? What is the stated purpose of this class? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
