Hi Scott, I think it is best that you learn Python's benefits and weaknesses for yourself. I don't mean to sound dismissive -- it's just that a list of benefits and weaknesses will be little more than hollow words until you have your own personal experiences. http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html is a pretty good place to start. hth, Michael --- Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian W. Kernighan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
