Hi, glad to see you're making some progress :)  You're likely to get 
more offers of assistance if you read and action this 
https://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython to prevent us seeing the 
double line spacing above, thanks.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
