Hmm, I didn't get that as part of my new moderator's welcome package. We are pretty informal. The only real rule I can think of is, don't ask us to do your homework, and if someone does ask for a homework solution, don't give it. We will *help* with homework if you make an attempt and ask for help. The best way to ask a question is to make your best attempt at a solution and show it. Then we can see where you are stuck. If you get an exception traceback from your program, include the entire traceback in your post. > >> 3.

The Python Package Index AKA the Cheese Shop is the current repository of choice: http://www.python.org/pypi If there is something specific you are looking for you could ask here or google for python plus the specific topic. > >> 4.

(That might be a tall order, I know...)
