Carine Tanissa is still having a problem:
Thanks,

For the cubePPscaled.py example where would i add O.bodies.erase(bodyID) to remove bD once the particles are all deposited in the box?
I was adding O.bodies.erase(bD) after 
def removeLid():
	global lidID	
	if (O.bodies[lidID]):
		O.bodies.erase(lidID)	
but i am getting an error.

Can you please tell me where to incorporate it?
Thanks.

Here s the unedited code:
