Stephen, please remember that we are volunteers offering services for free, not paid consultants. If you want our help, you maximise the chances that we will do so by making things as easy as possible for us, rather than just dropping a big ball of mud in our laps and expecting us to sort it all out. If we were charging by the hour, and you had an unlimited budget, we'd be more than happy to do all the preparation for you. But since we aren't, you are relying on our good-will to get answers. If you make it hard for us, and your problem looks boring, then you are unlikely to get much, if any, help. Please help us to help you: - If you get an error, copy and paste the ENTIRE error message, starting with the "Traceback" line, not just the final line. - Provide a MINIMAL set of data that exposes the problem, the smaller the better. We shouldn't have to wade through hundreds of data points looking for the one which causes the problem. - Simplify your code to the MINIMUM required to demonstrate the problem. - Make sure that the code you send us actually works, in the sense that it will run and show the error you claim it shows. If we cannot run your code, we cannot debug it. - Ensure your code and data are ATTACHED to the email as separate files, not copy and pasted into the body. We should be able to save the files directly to our own computers without the risk of introducing formatting changes caused by going through an intermediate email format. It may help if you read this: http://sscce.org/ It is written for Java programmers, but the principles apply to everyone regardless of the language they are using. Thank you. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
