Go to the bottom of http://web.chad.org/projects/smartypants.py/ and you will see a number of links to various versions of this .py module. If you right-click/Save As to smartypants.py, and then save this file to a directory in your Pythonpath, then this will make this module accessible to you. -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
