I think Roy's point here is if you don't know python (as you admit) why are you applying for a job as a Python Developer. the code provided appears to be pretty poor quality to me & probably buggy as well but without the specification I can't be sure. -- I like work; it fascinates me; I can sit and look at it for hours. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
