No worries, you're totally fine. The word "hack" means something different. To hack means to work on, learn, modify, etc. It's a positive word in this context. I was hacking on python code myself yesterday. > So why should I now start to learn how python works. Well if you learn how Python works, then a lot of what you are trying to do will become easier and make more sense. For example, knowing how Python works will tell you why your print_time() function returns nothing (hint, the code you posted does not show a "return" statement, hence the function will not return anything). > If the code doesn't work for me after a fair trial, I'll move on to > something else. I can sense that you are frustrated, and I can also sense frustration on the part of those trying to assist you. I hope you will give it a fair trial as the entire endeavor, and Python in particular, can be really fun once you grasp it! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
