plain text parsing to html (newbie problem)

[João]

Thanks for the output.
akean, I've installed ipython and I'm exploring it. Thanks.

Terry,
from what I've read stringIO allows us to store strings in a 'virtual'
file.
Can you please write just 2 lines exemplifying a write to and a read
from an OS level file?

MRAB, that 'mail' object should've been the os level 'mail' file. But
as I'm a beginner I was using it wrong..

Thanks
