I prefer this approach. So i would just present my opinion in aonther way: which, of the current available tools, can get sensible enanchements being rewritte in python? Is just the act of rewriting a Perl tool using Python that whould bring us some benefits? I think not. I know about linda, but the fact lintian was rewritten in python is a case. The problem with lintian was not the language used, but the way it was implemented. Should someone have reimplemented lintian with Perl, using the same implementation process of linda, it would be a better tool anyway. Which of the current tools we use has flows the we (you) think could be enanched being rewritten (and so with python)? I'd like to read a sane discussion on tecnology more than on language (then, since this is debian-python...). ciao, -- Luca - De Whiskey's - De Vitis | Elegant or ugly code as well aliases: Luca ^De [A-Z][A-Za-z\-]*[iy]'\?s$ | as fine or rude sentences have Luca, a wannabe ``Good guy''. | something in common: they local LANG="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" | don't depend on the language. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
