What do you expect it to return? 141592653589793? Go through the Python tutorial. Better yet, find a book that distinguishes between technology and magic, and sets out clearly what each one's field is. Then go here, and read. http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Then go back to your project. Have another shot at things. Put your new-found knowledge and understanding to work. You'll be far better able to figure things out, and better able to understand what we've all been saying. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
