* I intended to write a helper func "filetext(filename)" to open/read/close/return (or equivalent using the with idiom).
This is one of those tricky things in Python: when the "raw" code is possibly one line long, and at most two (for Python 2.5+), it's only marginally worth creating a function for it unless you've got some substantial extra functionality. Ultimately it's a matter for personal taste / project needs. TJG _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
