Sorry for what is surely a dumb question, but what is the ". in print ''.join(rstring). Can't find this anywhere in the Python docs.

'' is a string object (the empty string).

''.join is the method join of the string object.

''.join(rstring) is the join method of the string object called with rstring as an argument.

There's more about string methods in the documentation: http://python.org/doc/lib/string-methods.html

Peace, Kalle
