Thanks for the advice. I guess I don't really know about what kind of modules I'm going to be using as I'm new to this whole style of programming. The only other languages I've used are Fortran, C, and Lisp. I venture to say that I'd probably be using math, and graphics modules. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
