Max, 

You need to send questions to the tutor list not just me.
Make sure you use Reply All or at least that tutor at python.org 
is included.  The advantages of having many eyes reading your 
question is that you increase both speed and accuracy of results.
In addition it keeps the answers available to all so others with 
the same problem in the future can use a search engine to find 
them.

Now, on this topic...

It worked for me but you do need to do a scr.refresh() each time 
to make it visible..
