Run the program, get a SyntaxError, fix it. Non-interesting event. (Maybe even sooner than that, if the editor highlights it for you.) This is why you really need to start yourself a testbox. DO NOT PLAY ON YOUR LIVE SYSTEM. This is sysadminning 101. And Python programming 101: The error traceback points to the error, or just after it. Get to know how error messages work. This is not even Python-specific. *Every* language behaves this way. You look at the highlighted line, if you can't see an error there you look a little bit higher. You should not need to beg for help for such trivial problems. This is the mark of a novice. You ought no longer to be a novice, based on how long you've been doing this stuff. You ought not to behave like one. ChrisA
