Subject:      Getting at the value labels w/ Python

Hi, everyone.

I'm working on setting up a Python script to build a variable based on two
(or more) parents.  I need to get access to the value labels for the
parents to correctly label the children.

The examples code included with the Python add-in for SPSS 14.x references
a class called VariableDict():
* The VariableDict class allows you to easily access dictionary
information, like variable labels, value labels, and missing values.

I've tried everything I can find in the manual to get the value labels out
and nothing works.  I can see that the labels themselves are included by
the "Select where the labels are missing" code included in the examples so
they must be there..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
