Seriously, Demon, as you've been advised: you need to settle down to one thing and work at it. You're still bouncing all over the place when you don't have the capabilities, currently, of dealing with even one. The forum is a place to seek help. The problem is, you're shooting at us with a shotgun, with your eyes closed. Soon, people will just roll their eyes to see a post from you, and not even consider giving a straight answer.

As far as IDLE is concerned, I dumped it and went with Boa Constructor. It's strictly a personal-preference issue. I suspect your IDLE debugger will work, but instead of trying to learn how, you pop back in here and ask every silly little thing. Pfah.

Warning from experience. Pick something and work with it. If you mind is prone to wander too much then limit it to 4 or 5. If you don't then you basically are left feeling incredibly dissappointed that you are only "average" at everything and not "great" or even better at something. It really sucks because "jack of all trades master of none" Is more true than you would like to believe, and people want to use programs/code from masters, not mediocracy.

I've never looked at Idle's debugger because I mainly debug on real paper. I'll install it on a computer I have and try to use see if I can mimic the problem. Is there anything special you had to do during installation, or was it just run of the mill.

I may be slow with the answer because I'm distracted at work (cut off date for sales "END of Month" commission happened and I'm sales support). If you get the answer sooner then it's cool.

Okay I installed Python 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32. I attempted to turn the debugger on by clicking Debugger under Debug menu. It appeared to work fluidly. I then wrote a simple class

class holamundo:

     def __init__(self, killerInMe):

          self.killerInYou = killerInMe

          print("Hi Mom")

     def fuzzy(self, J):

          if J > 0:

               return self.killerInYou

          else:

               print ("Je suis une filla")

               return 42

while testing the specific aspects in the interprecter everyting worked and appeared in the stack as this example:

bdb.run(), line 366: exec cmd in globals, locals
> __main__, line 1: undefmeth(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,)

You'll need to explain a little more in detail what step you performed and where/how it failed you so help can be provided, because it seems to be working functionally out of box.
