"start-point" is not a valid identifier as the "-" isn't permitted in a variable name. This is the case for just about every language out there. HTML/XML & CSS are the only languages that come to my mind in which the dash is considered a valid part of an identifier. You either mean something like "start_point" (with an underscore instead of a minus), or you're performing a subtraction of "start minus point", in which case you'd have to assign those values before you use them. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
