If I'm writing code just for fun. I'll be doing on Debian Linux, then I can do apt-get install python-crypto and I'm away. However if I'm writing code for work, it has to work on windows as well, which introduces a whole extra barrier to using 3rd party modules. Something else to compile. Something else to stick in the installer. Basically a whole heap of extra work. I think one of the special things about Python is its batteries included approach, and a crypto library would seem to be an obvious battery to install since it doesn't (or needn't) depend on any other library or application. -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
