Nick, you have now spent 4 days arguing over a minor coding problem that you were given solutions to on the first day, primarily because you feel that the solutions you are being offend some programming aesthetic you have. I suggest that it's time for you to re-evaluate what you want from this ng, and indeed what language you want to code in if your perl "minimal code possible" aesthetic is so important to you. If you want good python code, then stop telling everyone here that their working solutions are wrong and should be more like your dysfunctional code, and use the solutions you are given. If you want to write minimalist perl code, then stop using python and use perl. In either case, you need to stop arguing with people who are offering you solutions to your problems solely based on the fact that you don't like their coding styles. You are the one who comes here asking for solutions. Either accept the solutions you are offered, or stop asking for them.
