You may *think* you ran the code you posted, but in fact you could not have done so. The code you posted will not run. Not in any version of Python, past, present or future. Assigning to a literal 1 = ... makes no sense and produces a syntax error. That's the only result you could have gotten. If you think that's what you've done, then by all means post a screen-shot showing is how you came to that conclusion, and we'll correct you again. But I'll guarantee with absolute certainty, that your posted Python program did not *run* "correctly" or incorrectly. People on the group are willing to help with nearly anything, but it's all a volunteer effort. You waste our time (either carelessly or maliciously) if you don't accurately post your code and the results of running that code. So please try again. You *will* get help. There are a number of other errors in your program also. We can get to those once we know what code you are really running, and are sure that you know what it means to *run* it, and that you can correctly identify the results -- error or not. Gary Herron
