Can't tell from that -- do you have "import string" above that, or what?

Please post the whole file, which BTW you should not call "string".
In any case you should not be using the string module; it's old and 
deprecated. Use string methods instead. Why are you using Python 2.2??

I have to go now; it's way past bedtime at this longitude. Like I said, 
post the *whole* file; others will be able to straighten you out when 
they see the gory detail :-)

Cheers,
