There may be exceptions, but “don't expect that readers of this forum can see your attachments” is a good rule to operate by. -- \ “Writing a book is like washing an elephant: there no good | `\ place to begin or end, and it's hard to keep track of what | _o__) you've already covered.” —anonymous | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
