The biggest problem, in my view, is that the compiled object code won't work with any other version of Python, or with versions where the compiler was built with other options, or possibly even on other processors with the same version. The nice thing about a database server is that you can use it from different computers without worrying about versions or processors. Compilation is not that expensive. Why not just store the raw code snippets? -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
