Sweet. So I was the only one that didn't know.:) I can live with that.
Won't be the last time.


However ...

>>> import StructuredText
>>> raw=open('test.stx','r').readlines()
>>> st=StructuredText.Basic(raw)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "ST.py", line 113, in StructuredText
    paragraphs = expandtabs(paragraphs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.1/string.py", line 295, in expandtabs
    return s.expandtabs(tabsize)
AttributeError: expandtabs


Rut-Roh.

Somehting is fishy here, since:
>>> from string import expandtabs
>>> s="foo\ttab1\t\ttabx2"
>>> bar=expandtabs (s)
>>> bar
'foo     tab1            tabx2'

Works fine otherwise?

I even tried out of a script, in the event it was some sort of wierd,
obscure interpreter thing (It could happen); but I must admit, I am
stumped so far on this one. :(
