I try not to top-post in this group, but the strange formatting of the message makes this advisable, as I am sure many people won't even persist in reading down as far as the "content".
Can I make a wild-assed guess that you are a Lotus Notes user reading python-list? Please try and find a way of not barfing these awful headers out with your post (perhaps you could use a newsgroup reader and access the gmane servers?). It really does make it difficult to focus on what you say when there are twenty-odd lines of badly-formatted heading information at the start of each message. regards Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Internet > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > To > > python-list > Sent by: > cc > python-list-bounces+matthew.warren=uk.bnpparibas.com@ > > python.org > Subject > Re: > Why chdir command doesn't work with > 05/02/2008 19:39 > client.get_transport() ? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> Thank you, Matt, for your valuable advice!
