Hi Rupert
Welcome to the list, if this is your first time here.

Actually, Python isn't quite like that
>>> aSet = set('a','b','c','bar')
TypeError: set expected at most 1 arguments, got 4
I think you meant perhaps
>>> aSet = set(['a','b','c','bar'])
Or I think better
>>> set(['a','b','c','bar'])
{'c', 'a', 'b', 'bar'}
I've been using Python for almost 20 years now, and often find myself
producing little command line examples like this to check my memory
regarding common types. Particularly string formatting and regular
expressions. And particularly before posting to a public discussion
list.
