believe it. It all depends on where one is coming from. A dotnet guy is told that LAMP stack is the greatest thing since the invention of the masala dosai, he immediately looks for buttons to press. Something similar happened to me once - some years ago when integrating a payment portal, the code was given to me in php. I could figure out more or less what it meant and rewrite it in python. For some stuff I had to run the php code. Naturally I could not ask anyone, so like a good cgi programmer, I put the php file in cgi-bin, made it executable and tried to run it. I spend a full day tweaking apache (since my interpreter had php4 installed and this file had a php3 extension). But whatever I tried I could not get the thing to run. I finally had to go over to a friends place and ask him to run the code. -- Regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS at AU-KBC _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
