Hi Rob.

Thanks for your replies. Just to be clear this is for a interview and they would like me to figure out what the code does and come back with some test cases. I don't need to code the tests, just give some high level tests. As far as I can make out it is some system where you input your name and it will bring back your details plus how much time you have left on your card. Have to say I find the code extremely confusing, hopefully all python isn't like this!!
