One thing which I find a bit weird: when asking for Python-help concerning raspberry pi code or problems, a lot of people don't seem to be interested in helping out, that's of course their choice, but maybe they don't seem to be aware the raspberry pi is often the motivation for starting to learn to program in Python. And as such such a reaction is a bit disappointing.

As Python is meant to be cross platform i think it's pretty much 
irrelevant that Raspberry Pi is mentioned.  It's far more likely that 
people don't respond as questions are asked about specific libraries 
which they haven't used.

Neither does it help when considering Jean's last post that the final 
paragraph shows as one line in Thunderbird on Windows and over 60% is 
simply blank lines.  No guesses as to how he's posting.
