For anyone who was following this, here is the finished, non floating
point, program, after all the kind advice received has been incorporated
into it (hopefully I have the leap year logic right...):

What happens if you specify the starting directory as a Unicode string,
rather than an ascii string, e.g., if you'r
Dear All,
I have some utf-8 unicode text with lines like this:
ANVERS-LE-HOMONT, Maine.
ANGOULÊME, Angoumois.
ANDELY (le Petit), Normandie.
which I'm using as-is in this line of code:
place.append(line.strip())
What I would prefer would be something like this:

Alan,
Wow! Those changes radically change the program!
Is there a way to get the try-exception to cause the end user questions
to be repeated until acceptable answers are given? Like a kind of
"return"
or "repeat" command that could be added to the except side of things?

First, alnum() checks for alpha-numeric characters so
will allow both alphabetic characters and numerics.

Hello all, I need some advice to choose an xml generator for jsviz a
tool in javascript to create some wonderful graphs (SnowFlake or Force
directed).
Starting from a SQL table (mysql) I need to create a XML file with a
structure like this:
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

Consider using something like:
try:
start, end = int(start), int(end)
except ValueError:
