Indeed. Also, Gregory, don't expect anything to work directly. Programming is mostly an iterative process where you write just a little bit of code before you have to stop to fix a host of bugs. Repeat until you have something that almost does what you intended... > However, I have to say Peter was a bit optimistic in his assumptions about > your general level of expertise.

Gregory introduced himself as a university lecturer, so I tacitly assumed that he had seen a shell window on a linux box or a mac, and would appreciate if he could use something familiar (globbing) in a new environment (python). I make similar assumptions about questioners' skills level all the time -- and sometimes fail in a big way ;) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
