Thats a bit extreme. We don't mind giving help on specific queries where an attempt has been made to do the work. We will rarely give a direct answer but might ask questions or make suggestions to lead you towards the answer. What we will not do is accept a simple query saying, in effect, "here is the assignment, how do I do it?" >> This is where I am at so far. I don't understand how to get the >> Account class into the program. Can you help a little, Just >> looking for an idea or some guidance Do you understand the difference between classes and objects? Do you understand how to create an object, as opposed to a class? Do you know how to call the methods of an object once created? If not find almost any Python tutorial. They all answer those questions. >> class Account: >> def __init__(self, initial): >> self.balance = initial >> def deposit(self, amt): >> self.balance = self.balance + amt >> def withdraw(self,amt): >> self.balance = self.balance - amt >> def getbalance(self): >> return self.balance >> > What you have there is a class, not an instance of a class. read > more about the difference at > http://www.python.org/doc/2.2.3/tut/node11.html > or some other tutorial site.

But I think Luke is being a wee bit hard here, you clearly have tried to solve it, you just need some direction. I'd say that was within the tutor list rules.
