How about calling it 'ask'? >>> s = ask( "How are you today?" ) --> Fine >>> s "Fine" And as far as the name of a library goes how about "quickstart"? Other possibilities are: quickstudy, kickstart, simplestart, etc. "With the Python quickstart module, programming is as easy as one...two...five!" -- Talin _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
