flashcards: a little shell app in Python

[gustavolacerda]

In the last 2 hours, I created a little shell app in Python, which presents flashcards for vocabulary learning. I'm happy because I never touched Python code before

Why not put it up on github? I might contribute.

Nice idea. But this script is my first Python program, and it probably shows.
I also want to implement the machine learning component.

What would you contribute?

Most likely just tidy up the code -- I'm kind of compulsive and it's an easy way for me to show off. But that could help you learn Python faster and I might have a use for a flashcard program.

After I reinstalled cygwin (in order to get rxvt, so I can see accents), and opened a new shell, my code mysteriously stopped working:

$ python start.py gusl fin2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "start.py", line 9, in
import msvcrt
ImportError: No module named msvcrt

Any ideas?
