There are no Python documentation police enforcing standards on documentation, so I don't know why you'd expect any consistency between non-official documents. The official documentation, though, contains an excellent tutorial <URL:http://docs.python.org/tutorial/>. As has been suggested to you several times already: Please work through the entire tutorial, executing every exercise and experimenting until you understand it, then progressing to the next one. Once you've done that, you will have a much better grasp of Python and can save a lot of time in discussions like this. -- \ “I'm having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time.
