That's interesting. I saw that phrase and wondered what it was. Now I know ;') Actually, I did refactor the numbers program into disparate functions. That's why I started using main(), so I could import it and just use the functions. That test would have been impossible if everything was still mashed up. In fact, once I refactored, I saw how easy it would be to test like that. But callbacks look interesting. I'll have to try them. Except using a callback would mean editing the inputter module, which I am pretending is some module code I'm importing but don't want to mess with. So I just import it and do the so-called monkey patch without actually editing the module. My thought was I could do quick tests and dummy inputs without changing the module itself. Jim
