That might be it. I installed via apt-get on my RPI and it's version 0,19,4.

Ta. I'll try a Nightly
This should be a pretty simple bit of code. I'm trying to pass a dynamic date &
time based filename to the camera module on my RaspberryPi.
I've got the following code:
import times
let timestamp = (now().format("-MM-dd-hh-mm-ss") & ".jpg")
echo(timestamp)
Aha. That worked a treat
I'd thought the TaintedString error was telling me I was creating a "tainted
string" when building the command. And the reason I'd omitted the let outp =
was that it looked like that was assigning the result of the command to a
varible so it could be used later on –and
Another day, another bit of tinkering with some of my old Python scripts to try
and get my head round Nim.
This is an old script I had which takes a list of [IMHO] junk processes and
kills them on my OSX laptop. [For the purposes of testing I'm just using Finder
and Dock as placeholders, as the
Thanks all.

Python certainly does. The project in question was one of my old Python scripts
I'm trying to rewrite, while learning Nim. And the original project-wee.py file
runs fine.
I've just been working on a standalone file. Let's call it project.nim.
Compiles and runs no problem. However, when I adapted the code to make it a bit
more compact and saved the leaner version as project-wee.nim it refuses to
compile with:
$ nim c -r project-wee.nim

Thanks. I just came back to red-facedly say I'd sussed it out. But you beat me
to it.
I shall award myself the "RTFM Badge of Shame" immediately
[although, in my defence, I searched the docs for "range" and "step". Didn't
think of "countup"]
Probably one to file under "Newbie Questions", but here goes...
I'm trying to iterate over a string and get the characters in it 3 at a time.
In Python, I can use the fact that range has a step attribute to do something
like:
text = "Hello there How are you This is a string Blah Bl
