I feel like an idiot. I'm going thru "Dive Into Python" and running the first program - odbchelper.py
My output is "pwd=secret;database=master;uid=sa;server=mpilgrim" which has all the substrings reversed from the output documented in the book. I've run the downloaded code in Komodo, PythonWin and the command line and get the same results. Have I set some switch on my python install that reverses everything? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
