Well, it would be much easier if there would be hardware that was designed for object oriented & dynamic programming... ;-) (Most current hardware is designed for use with C & similar languages, or sometimes for massively parrallel computing (e.g. GPUs), but the last tries to design hardware to fit something like Python date back to the 1980s AFAIK...) -- JanC -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
