I think the intent is not to deter you from learning to program, but rather to urge you in a direction less fraught with peril. Rather than starting by duplicating existing functionality of a complex domain, you may find it easier to start by aiming for something in a less-complex domain, or tackle a project that doesn't already exist but scratches your personal itch. As you succeed at smaller projects, you'll have a better idea of how to tackle larger projects in the future. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
