Nathan,
Thanks for your help...I got it working. This is what I used:
if values != list("0"):
Is that what you were recommending? Because I couldn't convert a list
(values) to a int. Since values was a list I decided to convert my
int to a list and that worked. Can you tell me what the u stands for
when i do a 'assert False, values': It returns a [u'0']. Why doesn't
it just return a ['0']? Also, it there anyway that I can convert the
'values' variable to a int so that I can do a comparison without
converting the 0 to a list?
Thanks
