Hardly. Maybe not the most sought after metric but definitely up there in a list of things to look at. Given n interpreted languages and faced with the problem of making a decision, speed is definitely a consideration (although other things are there as well). The number of Python projects going just targeting speed increase and the shift from 3.0 to 3.1 with the faster IO module are testaments to this. I've just recovered from the PHP/Python 'discussion' so I'll stay out of this one. :) -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
