So far, I haven't had any problems running my script on either box. Frankly, I'm finding Python to be quite easy to learn. With a little help from the standard tutorials, this list, and my co-worker (experienced developer), I've managed to get my menu system functioning rather well, and can even connect to the MySQL database to print off a member roster to the console. All this in less than two weeks. I even found a better way to print the menus to the console. These successes are what makes developing a program exciting. Meanwhile, I'll check out that site/code. Again, I appreciate the help.
