David,

I have followed these questions with great interest. I hope he keeps asking for a
while --- and folks here keep answering.

As a newbie to Python, I find that the one liners in c are easy to follow and the
translation into Python show me where I am missing Python techniques.

My purpose in writing this is simply to say you are not just helping Mr. Wong when
you respond.

Regards, Joe
