Hi Werner.  I must have mixed build versions or done something
when I installed stuff.  I just removed everything and downloaded
the 12 MB ActivePython dist. and everything worked out of the
box.  I'm glad I installed that anyway since the html help is all
nicely done in 8 MB worth of.chm files for the Win32 platform.
Very nice.  Hmm, maybe I'll go back and see if they updated
the ActivePerl help to .chm files now.  Anyway, I'm finding
Python much less frustrating than Perl.  I'm sure Perl is
great for people who use it every day but for occasional
hacks I find I can't remember the syntax and spend too
much time fighting through docs where Python is more
intuitive.

Pardon me for blathering on but I'm a newbie to Python
and I'm still enthusiastically discovering new stuff about it. :)


Thanks for your reply.


Mike
