Re: Cheetah test failure

One more quick "cool thing" about Python. All that failure info was only 
related to one failure; Python was just trying to give you as much info as 
possible to help out. The most relevant info (like the exact file and line of 
code) is usually at the very end (bottom) of a failure report.

The failure reports might be a bit intimidating after the one-liners of PHP or 
C, but you'll find them much more useful as you go on. Also, when you do get 
a failure report, read it carefully, especially the end of it. ;-) I can't 
tell you how many times I spent fifteen minutes trying to fix a bug and then 
went back and reread the bug report to realize that the clues were already 
right there.

Good luck! Glad to see another newbie! ;-)
