I wasn't complaining! (Was: will python 3000 break my code?)

Fredrik and Gerrit, thanks for the info.  I didn't realize it would be a
type error.  I wasn't complaining, though, just giving an example of why
I think some rewriting will be necessary.  And I'm not suprised that it
turns out to be bad form.  I'm not a professional coder, and I'm
learning those sorts of aesthetics as I go along.

Alex.
