Python help

[Antaeus Feldspar]

If you are working with an older interpreter, you will need to add the line

	import string

to your code, preferably just below "#!/usr/bin/python".  This will 
import the 'string' module, which contains most of the string 
manipulation routines, and then to use these routines, you call 
"string.split(mystring,"|") or something similar.

In later versions of python, the string manipulation routines were added 
directly to the string datatype.
