I do not manage any python lists or have any say in how they run so I have no idea why I am being asked by name below, as Dennis pointed out. So I won't reply on whatever I am being asked, but want to point out that many forums may be asked questions and some people on the forum will not respond or will not accept a user that bombards with too many questions or requests for more detailed answers and especially when not given enough but appropriate information. Not everything in life is free. Python as a free language is but the expertise in ways to solve specific problems using Python, let alone EXCEL, that you want, often is not. Simple requests like how to read in data from a format like .CSV or a tab in .XLSX files can be easily answered, of course. But correcting what sounds like a horrible data storage without a redesign is often not of much interest to others. I think this group has already spent way too much time on whatever this issue is and provided lots of useful advice which apparently does not get taken. So don't pull me in again. I have moved on.

It is most likely the same forum... The Python mailing list (which does get spam filtered, unlike the Usenet newsgroup, so doesn't see as much junk injected via Google) is gatewayed with Usenet comp.lang.python. comp.lang.python is what Google gateways for its Python group. Anything posted on the Google Python group is seen by comp.lang.python, and from there gets seen by the Python mailing list (and things go the other way also). The only difference is message management -- email vs news reader vs whatever Google's interface of the week inflicts, and how much spam comes through. For me, mailing lists take too much management to set up filters to file mailing list traffic to a special mail box (and then if I need other filters, to ensure they apply before or after the mail box filing) whereas a decent news reader automatically files messages by their group. And you really need to find a client that follows (or properly use the one you have) email/netnews /threading/ and attribution conventions. Avi Gross's post was on a different path (there was a three-way split from your earlier post). If you are going to be explicitly asking questions of a person, that post should be a follow-up (reply) to the nearest relevant post made by that person -- not just tacked onto the end of the posts that came in during the day with all content removed and ad hoc comments inserted. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfr...@ix.netcom.com http://wlfraed.microdiversity.freeddns.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
