filename = "addbook.dat"

def main():
theMenu = '''

2) Remove Entry
3) Find Entry
4) Quit and Save
'''
theBook = {}
readBook(theBook)
choice = getChoice(theMenu)
while choice != 4:

elif choice == 3:
findEntry(book)

print "Invalid choice, try again."
choice = getChoice(theMenu)

def readbook(book):
import os
if os.path.exists(filename):
store = open(filename,'r')
for line in store:
name = line.rstrip()
entry = store.net().rstrip
book[name] = entry

Put this at the end of the file. Currently, it is getting executed before the
code that defines main().

My, at the time, 11 year old daughter enjoyed it.

Why are we not surprised that you watched a show that was on opposite Monday Night Football?

Labels, stereotypes, gender roles... what good are they? we all have masculine and feminine elements in us, Imo... some may be more masculine or more feminine, but so what? The point is to be a unique individual and ignore gender roles, as much as possible...

So we should intentionally go out of our way to ignore gender roles as much as possible?

I don't think that's how most of us want to live.

Would you have us do away with separate sports teams for females and make it so a girl can only play on the basketball team if she's good enough to play against the boys? I mean, having a separate sports team for the girls is saying that since they're not good enough to play on the boys teams, we need to let them play their inferior brand of the game anyway, because they are of a different gender.

There are a lot of differences between the genders. They even have found now that the recommended dosages of most drugs should be different for women than for men, and not just based on their body masses.

Gender roles developed for a reason, much to do with genetic predisposition..

The Impressions have a song on their "This Is My Country" album called "They Don't Know," that contains the lyrics "Every brother is a leader, every sister is a breeder."

I don't think Curtis Mayfield would have been for ignoring gender roles.

Were you genetically predisposed to be a toll collector on the NJ Turnpike?

We don't have to *completly* ignore gender roles, but we can not be rigid about them either... like most things, identity is loose and fluid and on a continuum...
