You say your program 'crashes' when it gets to 'int(LatString)'. I'm guessing (and it's entirely a guess, since you don't tell us) that you are getting an exception like 'ValueError: invalid literal for int(): whatever'. I'm guessing again that 'LatString' doesn't contain what you think it does at this point. Have you tried inserting a print statement to show you just what 'LatString' contains? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
