Great -- I'm glad my sanity was not threatened (at least in
that one area! ;).

BTW, I just started using PyDispatcher this week, and I must
say IT ROCKS!!  :)  My first use of it is to dispatch
a "state changed" signal to components of my GUI app
(the receiver is a function 'onStateChange' that checks the 'state'
dictionary -- a module-level instance that all the components
import), so now all my gui windows that have a little
connector icon on the bottom right to show whether the
app is "online" or not are all synchronized.  (I was
actually low enough to steal mozilla's little connector
icons, too ;).  I'm easily amused!  :)  But it was very
cool how *easy* it was to implement with PyDispatcher ...
I really must write a testimonial or something!

Cheers,
Steve
