Just downloaded and used a library that came with unit tests, which all passed. When I started using it, I kept getting odd errors. Digging into it, I discovered they had commented out the bodies of some of the unit tests... glad it was open source, at least I *could* dig into the code and figure out what was going on :/ Thanks, Cem Karan -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
