Well, if we're going to critique the design, I'd say that I find the GNU Units program <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/units/units.html> to be a good flexible implementation of a command-line units converter. I suspect, though, that the object of the OP was not so much to make a good unit converter, but rather to learn from a simple example exercise. -- \ “I am too firm in my consciousness of the marvelous to be ever | `\ fascinated by the mere supernatural …” —Joseph Conrad, _The | _o__) Shadow-Line_ | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
