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. > There is a difference between learning Python ON a Raspberry-Pi, and learning the Raspberry-Pi with Python. R-Pi specific libraries or code aren't things every Python user would have experience with; asking in the R-Pi newsgroup -- comp.sys.raspberry-pi -- would at least focus the matter to people with experience or interest in the R-Pi. Granted, that may require one to obtain a proper Usenet news-client and access to a news server carrying the group; rather than the corrupting influence of Google Groups (I haven't looked to see if GG has access to it; but GG makes a trash out of messages that gateway out to the real world). -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
