Worrying what it actually does is good; an inquiring mind is a prerequisite for becoming a good programmer. Another prerequisite is discipline. That means the discipline to try and work out for yourself what's going on, rather than repeatedly spamming this list with trivial enquiries. It also means the discipline to both read and type carefully: until and unless you learn to take more care in how you express yourself, both in code and in prose, you will be plagued by syntax errors and frustrated responses respectively. I have only skimmed it, but you might find the following tutorial helpful: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ Many of the early exercises may seem too basic, and you'll be tempted to skip them - given your conduct here, I imagine you'll be *strongly* tempted to skip them. Don't. You need to learn discipline. -[]z. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
