A Ground Hog movie moment? Deja vu all over again (Quoting Yega Berra.). I went right through John Hunter's comment of a day or two ago about the need to solve this with ipython. That has to be taken into consideration; otherwise, this is a no-go..
I suppose an interesting aside though on what I discovered through the debugger. When the program hit show(), it went back to the first line in the calling def instead of after where it was called. I suppose in some dim way one could use a global variable to detect that occurrence, and remedy matters. I'll defer to ipython. On 2/10/2010 7:08 PM, Wayne Watson wrote: > Foiled again.
