Handy rules for reporting bugs: 1. Always format code properly. 2. Always trim excess fat from code. 3. Always include relative dependencies ("self.wordlist" is only valid inside a class. In this case, change the code to a state that is NOT dependent on a class definition.) Most times after following these simple rules, you'll find egg on your face BEFORE someone else has a chance to see it and ridicule you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
