Thanks for that, John.

I know that vim can solve most problems. Still, my intro to python was a 
bad one, and first impressions last. I am sure I will need to maintain 
python code again, (and I have had to now a few times already), but, I 
am content enough with the half-dozen languages I know really well to 
not have to befriend Python too. Everyone has a 'unfavoured' language 
that they belittle and deride. Python made it too easy to get on my list 
of 'daft' languages.

perhaps I am getting old.....
