On the level of mercy: (a) this is python-dev, which is explicitly *not* for user questions; (b) the OP didn't show any actual code nor error messages, which makes it impossible to help him unless you're clairvoyant. Unfortunately we get quite a few of such ill-defined problems in this list, despite it not being the wrong list, and my own patience wears thin at times too. (I also get quite a bit of personal mail of the same nature.) -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
