I thought I was being constructive in two distinct ways, although
perhaps I was more blunt than you were able to handle.  If so,
my apologies for appearing to patronize you.  That was not my
intention.

I did point out two helpful things (I thought).  One was to
show you by explicit example how you can't access sys.version
until you've imported the sys module.  You didn't seem to 
understand that was required from your response in another post,
and I believe you might have missed the point again in 
reading my response.  If you read the post again, you'll see
that I got the same error you did until I did "import sys"
and then the problem went away.  As that would have solved
your initial problem, I felt it would be fairly helpful.

Secondly, and I believe I'm still correct here, I pointed out
that you might have a lot of trouble trying to juggle two 
things at the same time: learning Python, and using it in
an unforgiving environment as an ASP scripting language.
I have been in your position many times in the past, and 
every time I have been burned by ignoring my own instincts.
Never attempt to take on two difficult tasks at once when
you can partition the problem and approach one task at a
time.  Learn Python first (without ASP involved), _then_ 
try to use it for ASP.

You may choose to ignore my advice.  It was, after all,
given freely and, as always, is worth what it costs you...
