Wrong.

Keith Thompson argues that your post is off topic in comp.lang.python, 
because you are not discussing python code. You simply posted a link 
that contains a reference to a Python program and said you run it. You 
are not discussing the code itself or making any question about it.

And he is right, IMNSHO.

It is fact, Arlen.

I did not say "nobody". That's you reading what is not in what I said.

I don't refute anything, except that you can only track a minority of

It is good Usenet manners to explain the subject in the body.
