that is why I normally stay away from non-python stuff. My criterion is simple: if I am going to just use it, I am not bothered about the language. For example josm for openstreetmap is in java - if it had been in python I could have customised it for indian languages - but it was impossible for me to do it in java. But I can live with it (I simply write the names in tamil in kwrite or something and paste it into the josm interface). In the current scenario, I will have to do a fair amount of customisation, and am certainly not going to sit and learn ruby or whatever for it. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS at AU-KBC _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
