Ah, yes that's exactly what the traceback shows. Well, I know that I am using Python 2.71 as downloaded from the python site. That's why I didn't think there would be a version problem. However it would appear that is the problem. I will download 2.6 and see if that fixes my problem. Thank you very much. From now on I will also post the complete traceback. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
