[ptt-users] Stress Test data from input file

[Kyle Bell]

To further this discussion, other references I recommend are the "Python
Cookbook", "Jython for Java Programmers", and "Jython Essentials".  I've
found all three of these books useful as references.

Also the following link is the best reference I've found for simply
finding functions to use and discovering their applications:

	http://www.python.org/doc/lib/lib.html

Merry Christmas!
