we have had several discussions at beehive about making 
code examples easier to read. we are currently working
on a specification which would be followed in all our
tutorials.

wow! we had no idea --- we'll add this note to future
versions of the tutorial. from what i remember hearing
at the last python conference this is a common python
problem also.

thanks! the cool thing about our tutorials is that
all our customers get free updates for one year ---
giving us bees a chance to correct any errors as well as 
document any (in this case ZClass) new features/changes.

we'll be looking forward to these comments. we're happy about
any feedback we get!
