This may be off topic, but I think you might be mistaken here. For one thing, Gtk and cousins are written in C and last I checked, concensus here seemed to be that Gtk is of the devil. Also you seem to think that speed is everything, which is incorrect. I seem to recall some genius saying that for every algorithm there is a way of writing it as fast as possible and a way that's 10% slower but 100% more readable. Which do you prefer? (That said, Gentoo is overdoing the python a bit - if every call to GCC, which, you know, people might call very often in some circumstances, goes through 10 layers of wrappers, 3 of which python, then someone made a very big mistake somewhere.) Sorry, just one of those things that irk me. Cya, Markus
