My apology --- I deleted that post; yet it didn't delete... I saw my mistake seconds after posting.

***** gmail.

Note: I subscribed to the python-list, and am able to recieve e-mails, but I don't see how to write a post for this particular thread nor subscribe to this particular thread...

A brief suggestion, or link to a howto would be *much* appreciated.
