And it appears that the 3.3.3 version of Python that fixes this bug is still in beta. And that I can have my student download the working version from here: > > http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.3/ > > Does that all sound correct? > Very close :) The 3.3.3 version is actually a release candidate. In other words if no problems get reported it'll get a full release, if there are problems there may be a second release candidate depending on the severity. That's all down to the release manager. As your student appears to be up the creek without a paddle and has a hole in the bottom of the canoe, I suggest you get them going with this release. Slight aside, would you please quote context when you reply, TIA. -- Python is the second best programming language in the world. But the best has yet to be invented. Christian Tismer Mark Lawrence
