# Import the function for finding all occurrences of a pattern
# defined via a regular expression.
from re import findall

# A function for opening an HTML document in your operating
# system's default web browser. We have called the function
# "webopen" so that it isn't confused with the "open" function
# for writing/reading local text files.
from webbrowser import open as webopen

# An operating system-specific function for getting the current
# working directory/folder.  Use this function to create the
# full path name to your publication file.
from os import getcwd

# An operating system-specific function for 'normalising' a
# path to a file to the path naming conventions used on this
# platform.  Apply this function to the full name of your
# publication file so that your program will work on any
# operating system.
from os.path import normpath

# Import the standard Tkinter functions.
from Tkinter import *

# Import the SQLite functions.
