Inline means what you did in this post. Out-of-line means providing us with a link to where the code is. This forum isn't just a Google Groups web-based discussion group; it's primarily a newsgroup (comp.lang.python) and an email address (python-list@python.org). Both of those can be read by people who don't have internet access, so putting your code in an http link might prevent them from reading it. Also, the group/list gets archived all over the place, and there's no guarantee that pastebin will still be around a hundred years from now. It's an unnecessary dependency, which inline code doesn't have. That's why posting right here is the safe option :) Two general comments. Firstly, you're using Python 2 here. Is there a reason for that? If you possibly can, switch to Python 3. All sorts of things have been improved, and the gap is only going to widen - there won't be a Python 2.8, and subsequent 2.7.x releases are bugfixes and security patches only. All the new shinies are in 3.x. And secondly, please PLEASE avoid Google Groups; your quoted text is ugly and annoying, and your own text isn't wrapped. Check this out, and preferably, find an alternative means of posting: https://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
