# This module implements a global debug "level" variable.
# The level is usually set in the main program, often with
# a command line argument like "-d#" or "-d #", where # is
# an integer with greater values indicating greater levels
# of debugging.  Any module that imports debug.py can then
# test debug.level to determine how much debugging information
# should be printed.
# Example: python main.py -d5

level = 0       # zero indcates nothing is to be printed
