Did you mean spanner? ;-)

My English is not good enough to understand what you mean by this.

Nothing personal in this, I simply find the homour here often more interesting than the theoretical claptrap that some go on about. Not only that, from the Zen of Python, "Practicality beats purity".

As for being a spammer, nonsense, it's rather pleasant to see someone with real code asking real questions. Carry on like this and you'll soon be on the bug tracker at bugs.python.org fixing things, instead of the throngs who simply love complaining, but in reality do nothing about it. Hint, hint, didn't you ask on another thread about what module you could write for Python :)
