The problem is that Python is the 2nd best language for everything. ;) As a general purpose language I don't think it can be beaten, but for almost any given project of non-trivial size, there seems to always be one language that has better support for the subject. I frequently find myself wanting to use Python but being unable to, often due to some library being unavailable, as in your case. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
