Hi Duncan, Thanks for the information, I'll dig deeper :-)
(for some reason I can't get the from __future__ import to work, >>> from __future__ import print_function File "<stdin>", line 1 SyntaxError: future feature print_function is not defined but I am probably making some silly mistake, plus I have been meaning to find out more about this too, so this is a good chance to learn something new). Thanks again! Esmail -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
