Hi, I'm new to Python, I don't even fully know the language, never done
a full project in Python. What's more, probably I'll never will.
But that's not the point, the point is I want YOU people to modify the
language you know in and out, the program with which you've done many
systems, I want you to change it to suit my whims, so that I'll be
comfortable with the 3 ten liners I'll write.
TIA
