Thanks everyone for you thoughtful replies...
And yes Simon you are right... I do need to learn how to read
'tracebacks' (and de-bugging tools in general)... but you are the first
person to give me a step-by-step explination, thank you.
And LOL you all caught my dropped single-quote ;-)

So parts[1] is '-'.
Try adding a few print statements; I'd add a try/except around those
lines, printing parts, I bet it's not what you expect

Ok, maybe now I can make some more sense of this, with an example of
real code (sorry if it's a bit dense):
This is the basic function...
def equate(parts,new_eq):
oL = int(parts[0])
iL = int(parts[1])
iR = int(parts[2])
oR = int(parts[3])
oLoL = int(str(o
Hey Simon, Thanks for the reply.

I appreciate the offer... but at this point my code is too recursive

Ok, I've been beating my head against this for a day... time to ask
others.
To explain things as simply as possible:
I am trying to use eval() to evaluate some simple equations, such as--
pow(AB,2)
pow(AB,2)+A
pow(A+B,2)
pow(A+B,2)+A
and so forth... for a variety of math o
