Thanks Peter, You are right, I have to try to touch the Python but the problem is I don't have much time to do so. I have a Java developer for more than 4 years and I find it is not so easy to digest Python concepts, this is why I'm asking a lot of obvious and clear easy to you (long time Pythonists). Thank you for your time. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
