move() is implemented in the class qtcanvas.QCanvasItem

My first thought is "make sure that subclassing str is really what you
want to do." Here is a place where I have a subclass of str that
really is a special kind of str:

if l > len(s):
s2 = "%s%s" % (s,padc*(l-len(s)))
Greetings, perhaps someone can explain this. I get to different styles

et.SubElement(xmlb, 'child2')

Reasonable enough. As per Mike's suggestion below, building a few web

you could write daemons/cron jobs, perhaps in Python if Python runs on
