I did notice that Example 2.1 produces different output on my machine than from the example... <br/><br/> The example says I should get: <br/><br/> <ul><pre> server=mpilgrim;uid=sa;database=master;pwd=secret </pre></ul> <br/><br/> I get: <br/><br/> <ul><pre> pwd=secret;database=master;uid=sa;server=mpilgrim </pre></ul> <br/><br/> It's interesting that this is exactly the reverse of what the book says I should get. I have no idea why, as I can't read Python yet, but there you go. <br/><br/><i>Tags for this post: python(<a href="http://www.stillhq.com/python"><img src="http://www.stillhq.com/tagicon.cgi?post=/python/diveintopython/000001&tag=python&format=.png" border="0" alt="S"></a>) diveintopython(<a href="http://www.stillhq.com/diveintopython"><img src="http://www.stillhq.com/tagicon.cgi?post=/python/diveintopython/000001&tag=diveintopython&format=.png" border="0" alt="S"></a>) </i> <br/><br/> <a href="http://www.stillhq.com/python/diveintopython/000001.commentform.html">Comment</a> http://www.stillhq.com/python/diveintopython/000001.html http://www.stillhq.com/python/diveintopython/000001.html
