Just for a historical note: rur-ple is inspired by GvR which stands for "Guido van Robot". I can not think of a better name for it (kudos to Steve Howell). I struggled to find the right name. Initially, I called the robot "Cleese" (because of his "funny walk" in addition to the Monty Python reference) but that didn't seem right, given the intended audience. Then, I chose the reverse of my last name (which you caught, I hope, the last mention of it). My spouse suggested an anagram of my name instead. This, I assume, led to the following comment on comp.lang.python: "Surrender to Python - Resistance is futile! " I like that :-) André > Bob Gailer > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > 510 558 3275 home > 720 938 2625 cell _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
