Welcome to a life of programming, where the palm meets the face on a regular basis... more frequently if you use Microsoft Windows, tar, non-eight-bit-clean transmission methods, or Adobe products, and extremely common as soon as you take over someone else's code [1], but inevitable even without these stimuli. :) Have fun!

The error is that indexes are supposed to be integers, instead you have a text string: "That's not the correct password, so I can't s hare the secret with you." -m -- Lark's Tongue Guide to Python: http://lightbird.net/larks/ The existence of any evil anywhere at any time absolutely ruins a total optimism. George Santayana *shrug* In the example that I have posted from the book it works just fine. I also used this batch file to help me along. longevity.py pause Hence the question mark over my head at the moment :) . You are giving a message to the delete call, but delete call needs an integer to work. In the book, it's not a delete call but an insert call that's why it works there. -m -- Lark's Tongue Guide to Python: http://lightbird.net/larks/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm not familiar with tkinter but that's the line with the error, and it looks a little odd. Yes, the second line is supposed to add the text. Think about it. "delete" is not going to add text. You want "insert" instead. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Check out the two lines I quoted in my previous post, and look at the corresponding two lines in the book's version. You should see the difference. :) By the way, I like the choice of secret. It lends itself well to a discussion of recursion - how do you live to 99? Live to 98, then be careful. Etcetera. You need just one special case: How do you live to 1? Be born, then be careful.
