This error message tells us there is a problem on line 3, something to do with the int() method call. You have posted a number of posts this week, and it feels like you write a bunch of code, run into a problem, then post it without trying to figure it out. I don't mean to offend, but really, many of your questions are pretty basic: - how do I use regex's (to extract data from an easily split string of space-delimited numbers)? - how do I round a number? - I get this traceback, what's wrong with my program? Please read up on the Python tutorials, and learn how to use the interactive help. Overall, c.l.py is pretty newbie-friendly, and a "n00b" question every so often is no big deal - but you've got to make more of an effort yourself. There is also a tutorial mailing list that is - I started to say "more geared for beginners", but we have plenty of lurker beginners on c.l.py, I'm sure - I'd say the tutorial mailing list is more willing to handhold new Python programmers. And a posted "thanks" once in a while is not bad etiquette either. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
