Anyhow, if would be ideal if Python > has performance similar to Java, with both being interpreted languages. to compare the speed of the two u need a lot of normalization, it is completely two different vector quantities --irrational. There is no way for an absolute comparison. both php and python are excellent but each has some application in which it defeats the other.. if u want something really fast use assembly.. what??? why are u shocked!! you don't want to pay tax ;) it's a matter of preference and need after all.. don't be misled by all the fuss about speed or the mightiness of any programming language they are just tools .. u r the secret!! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
