Wow, I just got my own thoughts confirmed.. What a really nice place this is, with nice people and positive helping posts, thank you for your introduction

Yeah it's really nice, you should check out the other books at http://ibiblio.org/obp especially the Python ones.. Makes programming a little funnier.

I can also recommend these books from a friend who is using them in a programming course he's running at the university he is employed.

Prolly the youngest python programmer in the world ..
I know this is found on O'Reilly somewhere but I couldn't find the destination and I was to lazy to look for it, just kept it for saving.

Thank you, and what a nice signature of yours, makes a new programmer welcome into the scene.

Thanks, worked out really fine! I think it have been mentioned, i've read the book (not fully though) before and I know that there is such a thing as lists

Like you can do things like this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

print prefix[0]+" what a nice functiona!"

By the way, how do I get "return" to print when running the code as script? I know that you can see the + and - in the interpreter, but can you make it print the true/false statement?

I need it in this case:

(Toggle Plain Text)

import string
def isLower2(ch):
  return ch in string.lowercase
