Thank you "Eryksun" and "EikeWek" for your responses. It is this sort of
thing that begins to pull one out of the newbie into the intermediate
category. I'm grateful.

I've not found anywhere a clear explanation of when not to set shell=True.
If the command line must be interpreted by the shell then clearly this
must be set. So the question that comes up is why not set it always?
In an effort to investigate, I came up with the following script that

The following code was recently suggested as an example of how the
datetime module could be used to solve a problem. Not having access to
Python at work, I found

thinking it would allow me to "play with Python" when I have a free moment.

Part of a previous post:

Here's the style I'd use:

This question seemed a good excercise so I banged out a little script
(which worked) but latter I saw posts showing code that by using string
method 'partition' provided a more elegant solution.
I was previously unaware of this method. My "bible" has been David M.
