Yes, Digital Mars D is what I was referring to and yes I know D is not as efficient as C++. If I knew of a good C++ compiler that is not from Microsoft that works natively with Windows I would be happy to consider using it but alas the only one I have found so far is from Digital Mars. Digital Mars D has nice integration with Python via pyd and this is another plus, in my mind. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
