Okay, thank you.  I'm trying to understand your program.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the same output you had, using python 2.6 
or 2.7.  Maybe I haven't been able to restore the indentation correctly 
after having been filtered through pan(1).

I wonder what the difference is between vars() and items()
