I would be curious to know whether they code much "mixed model" coding. By that I mean (a) code your application in Python, and then (b) optimize it as necessary by moving some functionality into Python C/C++ modules. (Some of (b) may happen during design, of course.) I think of this as the state of the art in programming practice, and I wonder whether Google's doing this, or has a superior alternative. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
