I moved them all to the top before the class definition

Ok, I want to follow normal python protocol. I changed them to lower case.

yes, I did remove this from the class. I really didn't need it in there. I
moved the check outside under the main running function. To check the name
before I even create the object. The way I had it before it would create an
object regardless if the name had a colon or not.

Code is working as I thought it would. What syntax error do I have?

yes,
I did remove the try except. Man this group is great. I am going to be a
python coder yet..... current code sample follows:
import re
import string
import os
class TPROJ:
def display(self):#display method
print self.basename
print self.project
print self.rev
print self.designator
print self.type
def __init__(self,value):#createMethod auto executes since it has __
self.basename = value
self.project = value.split(':')[0]
self.rev = value.split(':')[1]
self.designator = "NOVALUE"
self.type = ('SW','TMOD','SWA','TMODA')#constant tuple
def nameCheck(value):
tempREG = re.match('.*:.*',value)
return str(tempREG) != 'None'
def getProjectNames():
currentDir=os.getcwd()
nameTable = {}
temp=currentDir + '/TEMP'
print temp
os.chdir(temp)
baseList=os.listdir(".")
baseObjectList = []
for name in baseList:
if nameCheck(name):
baseObjectList.append(TPROJ(name))
Python Newbie...
