Sorry for not copying the whole traceback before, I hop I have done it
right this time.
I am now getting:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "katiescint.py", line 153, in ?
for subdir in os.path.istdir(DATADIR): #loop through
list of strings
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'istdir'
I did think maybe it was meant to be "listdir" instead of "istdir", but
that doesn't work either.
Sorry to be a pain.
