Sorry, my crystal ball is at the shop being repaired and I don't know what "an error" means or how to fix it. Please COPY AND PASTE the full text of the error, starting with the line "Traceback" and ending with the error message. Don't summarise it, or re-type it from memory. The Python interpreter provides a lot of useful debugging information in these tracebacks. If you ignore it, and just say "An error occurred", it is impossible to tell what the error is and why it happened. Your code has over 20 lines in it. Assuming a minimum of ten things could go wrong with each line, that's 200 possible errors. At minimum. It is a waste of my time, and confusing for you, to try to guess which of those is the error, when you have the information right there in front of you. If you post the actual Traceback, we can help. If you don't, we can't. > And I'm still confused by the definition of a Daemon. Is there another > resource you know that I can look at to break it down even further? Have you tried googling for "daemon"? In summary, and Ben will correct me if I'm wrong, a daemon is a computer program that runs as a background task. If you come from Windows, think of your anti-virus scanner which scans every file when you double-click on it, before the file runs. That will probably be a daemon, or the closest equivalent. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
