One of the things I did a long time agao was picked up a book that documented the python libraries. Most of the time, when I have a task at hand, the first thing I do is pick up this book and see if the wheel has already been invented. Then it is a simple matter of using the already defined stuff in a function. Another decent book I picked up a while back was "text processing in python" by Mertz. Unfortunately, I do not get to play around with python as much as I would like to. I would love to start coding some GUI stuff in python, but time usually does not permit it. Shannon
