Before trying such "I don't know what I need to do, but I'm going to want to know after I do it" procedures, I usually start 'script' in the shell session and then start all my experimenting. ('script' is a tool from BSD available on most GNU/Linux distributions as well.) That way, the entire session, fumbling dead-ends and all, is available for later examination and trimming back to a "what I did to get it working" document. -- \ "I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, | `\ when you looked at it in the right way, did not become still | _o__) more complicated." -- Paul Anderson | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
