I just tried nfold.py --booster=Adaboost --folds=5 --data=spambase.data -- spec=spambase.spec --rounds=500 --tree=ADD_ALL --generate --dir=C: \Users\Adam\Desktop\cvdata in the dos-style command prompt. It didn'g vive a syntax error this time, it just repeated my command back to me in text. I assume I called code correctly, but it didn't make a new folder full of data like it should have. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
