I decided to go with a simpler example up front. ------ # def defines a method in Python def say_hello(name): print 'hello', name say_hello('Jack') say_hello('Jill') More here: http://wiki.python.org/moin/SimplePrograms Somebody also fixed a few style things in my other examples, changing a tuple to a list, catching a more specific exception.
