I appreciate the humor but seriously, yes there are bad things. There are a lot of good things too of course, but it is easy when self learning to learn something that seems to work but is actually bad practice and will lead to problems or complex code later on. As an example self learners often learn one loop style and then try to apply it in every situation. Another common case is that the potential of dictionaries is often not understood and many strange data structures are invented when a simple dictionary could solve the problem. A good teacher will spot and correct those kinds of things. Alan G. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
