Ah it has to be immediately before the command, I did it a few lines before.
Cheers - works fine now.

Are you sure it is not EOF?
When run from a command file, programs will get their input from the
command file, up to the next line starting with a dollar sign, which
would be the next DCL command. So I would assume you'd get an EOF in
your python program at that point.

I can't argue with that. They'd *never* be approved if they were invented
today, but we're used to being careful and people hate change.
Same danger here, until they made compulsory (25-30 years ago) to sell only
plugs with the first part of the prongs insulated, so that when there is
electricity flowing, the accidentally exposed part is not conductive.

The nice thing is that it's backward compatible with ancient receptacles :)
Right. But with the addition that for the Shuko (which you have in both
Sweden and Germany (and other places)), the socket is inset, so when the
pins even gets close to the receptacle, the whole thing is already out
of each for any part of it.
But I know you have weird connectors and sockets in Italy... ;-)

Hey Sampsa,
You got two more back online (MASON & ROXY).
I was out of town and Verizon's crappy router froze up.
If I get the SCSI2SD hard drive for the multia working, BOSCO will be back online.

The main fuses in my house are 32A for each phase. I could upgrade, but
Real fuses? Here they are almost fully disappeared. Maybe there is something in

Yeah. My house is old... Real fuses... Nowadays they are all just breakers in new installations.
Automatic circuit breakers, both magnetic-thermal and differential, are the norm
(I think there is a law too that requires their use), so when you exceed your
allowed power consumption it's just a matter of going downstairs and switch back
on your home circuit (if you live in a building with many apartments, switches
must be reachable from outside your home, so they are almost always located near
the main entrance, next to mail boxes).
I wouldn't be surprised if they are mandated for new building nowadays. But for old installations, you do not have to replace the whole thing.
The "bad" new thing is that ancient switches where somewhat forgiving of short
spikes in consumption, but now that there are digital meters connected to the
switches, there is a strict 120 second grace period, and after that the meter
commands the circuit breaker to trip... And here you go in the dark. :P
:-)
There is also a "nice" LCD display that tells you that you were left in the dark
because you were using more power than what your contract allowed. :P
They did replace my meter a few years ago to a new fancy digital one that could be read and monitored remotely.

You can touch a live wire here and provided it's just one hand and your feet aren't in salty water nothing much will happen. Higher frequencies will pass your skin more readily. I'd rather touch 230V/50Hz than 80V/1000Hz.

This is Europe, remember...
Normal mains are 230V, and 3-phase are 410V phase to phase. All the DEC
equipment around here are designed to run on that stuff.
Sure ... I remember reading the back plate on a dryer at a laundromat once
(in I forget which country) and suddenly not wanting to touch it any more.
I just have trouble getting used to the fact that although you *already*
run most things at what Americans would consider double voltage, you *still*
double the voltage for the big toys (things which we grudgingly whip out
the 230 VAC for). But then again, once it's lethal, I suppose it doesn't
matter how lethal. And copper costs more than insulation so being able
to use wimpier wire for the same wattage is good design. Less loss too.
Plus, this is stuff you pretty much never unplug/replug, so your fingers
are almost never near the live prongs. Still ... around here, it's hard
to find wire that's insulated for more than 300V.
Yeah... That "lethal" aspect have never been my issue. 110V or 230V. Who
cares? If it comes to the wrong place, either will kill me.
And just through two fingers on the same hand, they both just annoy the
hell out of me, and I swear loudly for a few minutes...

You really cannot touch the prongs when they have power on plugs around
here...
