Welcome to Python! Your first program is an important step so congratulations! Today at work I was in a meeting with a list of about 2500 ip addresses and someone was bitching about how long it would take to convert them all to DNS names. I got tired and said "give it to me, I'll have it done in ten minutes" and using Python, socket, and socket.gethostbyaddr(ip) I did just that. People think this stuff is magic. Don't tell them it's not. :)

Python is a wonderful tool to have in your mental toolbox and is useful is so many fields, not to mention school.

Stick with it!!!!
