Give the guy a break, Carl. Frank may not be the swiftest coder around, but
it's really not unusual for newcomers to take as long as 3 weeks to reach
the 100 Kline/day Python median. If Frank is *very* new at Python (which it
sounds like), he'll see a big improvement when he breaks himself of the
habit of reaching for his curly-brace keys all the time.
