the following:

>Why the following code gives me errors??? And why the print statement run 2 times? I'll be appreciated your helps, thanks,

	It runs twice because your "for tmp_kind" loop calls the function
twice.

	It fails the second time because your sort operation returns a list,
and you bound that list to the name of your dictionary the first time
through.
