I know, and I might be way of, but I would believe that even that would be more like stringing ready built modules together, calling methods etc. I have written far denser code that the above example in Python regularly. But It is like 1%-5% of my code I believe. Unlike the c family of languages where there is a lot more algorithms due to the low level coding. Memory handling, list, dicts etc. qickly becomes more like math algorithms than in Python. -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
