Michael, > It's a two-way street. It's hard to teach someone that won't be taught.
Whacking a student over the head because he doesn't understand has never helped the student*. So, stop whacking and start /teaching/. Like thinking of examples that could show the student where he goes wrong. *other than learning to stop asking questions and just wing it any-which-way he can. Is that what you are after ? Regards, Rudy Wieser P.s. What would that "with" example/proof look like according to you ? As a newbie I can ofcourse take a swipe at it, but there is that a rather large chance (understatement) that he /ofcourse/ will do it wrong. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
