I would have to disagree strongly with the "I'm bad at it". Everything is relative. I've seen mind-bogglingly fugly incoherent messes produced by people who claim to be professional programmers with 3 *years* experience in a language (only rarely in Python). To have produced what you did -- it was clear enough what you were trying to do, and it "worked" well enough for a one-off job -- with 3 *days* experience with Python was a remarkable achievement IMHO. What's this "dislike programming" business? No such concept :-) Cheers, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
