Is that a curly quote character in your source code, or did it get changed as part of posting to this list? Either way, you need to be careful with your quote characters. Get a programmer's editor if you need to (Sublime, Atom, VS Code, Vim, SciTE, etc, etc, etc), and make sure you post as plain text. (Also, if you have trouble posting properly using Google Groups, switch to the mailing list - it's more reliable.) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
