Thanks a lot, must be getting close now... I changed the indentation one lines 136-168, and put in the command window: nfold.py --booster=Adaboost --folds=5 --data=spambase.data -- spec=spambase.spec --rounds=500 --tree=ADD_ALL --generate no syntax errors this time, it just said: nfold.py: Your CLASSPATH is not set. You must place jboost.jar in your CLASSPATH. is that the chdir() command in python? and can I somehow set that in the dos command window? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
