[Watford] Watford Digest, Vol 203, Issue 3

[M Fernandes]

Hi Mat

I was referring to the version running in my brain (I didn't realise numpty
is a program in it's own right!)! :-0

Pulled all my hair out trying to work out how to launch my script.
Eventually found out I had to import it & also reload it on subsequent
iterations.  Amazing how,  with a little less enthusiasm & a bit more
diligent reading of the ebook,  you find the answer! I didn't realise that
the imp (library??) isn't built-in on Python 3 so I had one more trip
before going back to happy bunny mode!

Does numpty have a website?;-)
