I thought I should tell you about raw strings  eg.

r'\new'

out puts
\new

not
<newline>
ew

the r at the front automaticly escapes special characters.

Your real MySQL code was omitted.  I'll assume a cursor named curs.

Re: escape-quoting strings

http://python.org/topics/database/

Read the DB-API spec version 2

All of the module documentation assumes you are already familiar with
the DB-API (DBI) and only deals with other issues.  The ability of the
module to map your data into the query becomes critical when dealing
with binary data.

Re: redundant function ( or, I need advice about cleaning up my code )

Thanks folks,

Great ideas for making my code smaller and more readable. I will use
enumerate() when I need to access more than one list by index. When zip 
and/or oop make more sense to me I will try that definitely.

So many great hints on this list.

Thanks,

Morgan

Re: Does anyone know if IDLE has a maximized setting?

It's in EditorWindow.py, line 79 (at least my version, the line might vary); the magic line is:

    self.top = top = self.Toplevel(root, menu=self.menubar)

this creates the new window.

You can use the Toplevel's  geometry method to do what you want; simply add a line:

    top.geometry('1024x740+0+0')

this will draw a window of 1024 x 740 pixels into the upper left corner of your screen
(the argument passed to geometry() is generally of the form: 'widthxheight+x-offset+y-offset');
If you don't want to deal too much with the secrets of Tkinter it's probably the easiest to
just try the appropriate values you need.

I hope this helps

I adjust the EditorWindow properties by added the following to
~/.idlerc/config-main.cfg

[job posting cut]

You're right.  This is completely off topic from helping people learn
about programming Python.  Please use a more relevant forum.  The Python
Job Board:

    http://python.org/Jobs.html

recommends using something like Mojolin:
