Please allow me some time to look at your examples. I get hung up over the smallest details because in my mind, my approach should have just worked... I learned about these parameters reading "O'reilly Learning Python 2nd Edition". On page 217 of the paperback or Chapter 13.5.6 in the ebook, topic: 'Argument matching: The Gritty Details' mentions the following in verbatim...
...''' Moreover, Python internally carries out the following steps to match arguments before assignment: 1. Assign non-keyword arguments by position. 2. Assign keyword arguments by matching names. 3. Assign extra non-keyword arguments to *name tuple. 4. Assign extra keyword arguments to **name dictionary. 5. Assign default values to unassigned arguments in header. '''... As you can probably tell, I tried to follow the steps exactly, except step 5 got me lost so I tried not to question it. Anyhow, thank you very much for your time and examples. I will get back to you as soon as I am done putting your response to trial. Thank you! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
