It appears that mathematical ability is inversely proportional to organisational skills, as I actually did pretty well in maths classes today, which encompassed both P5 and M3. I tried to do some more coding, but decided I'd quite like some of the functions I'd written earlier. I now have a michelle.py. Fear me.Pity me.

Pity you? Creating you're own libraries is an important step on the road to true techiness!

Okay, so maybe pity is appropriate.

I'm claiming neil.py is better tho, cos 'neil' is shorter than 'michelle', 'michelle.foo' is going to get annoying (import michelle as neil ;-)).

Are you going to post michelle.py anywhere so I can steal any useful functions? ;-)

It only contains two functions atm; one of them is to find a particular entry in a 2D list and return the relevent index numbers, because I couldn't find the nice easy way I expect there is to do this, and the other one is to read in a text file as a 2d array of the characters in it (which is a quick and dirty way to use human-readable maps for things).

Oh, and I'm bad and naughty and use 'from michelle import *'; I guess 'import michelle as m' would work reasonably, though.

Hmm, now that you point it out I realise there isn't a builtin way for indexing a 2D list. How are you doing it?

I'm not sure about your 2D array of characters. You realise that a string can be indexed as a list? (e.g. 'foo'[1]=='o') so wouldn't a list of strings do the required job?

Yes, import michelle as m would make sense, I still like the comedy value of import michelle as neil tho.

Mm, true, readlines would probably do the job; I just wasn't paying enough attention.

I'll send you the code for the other one when I get home.
