Well, I did say "Often". Before now I've struggled for ages to write a Python program to do a job, then when I've tried C# all the problems have fallen away and the job was done in an hour or so. But other times it has been the other way around; I've done stuff in Python that I wouldn't know where to begin with in other languages. One of my constant refrains is that *no* tool is ideal for *all* jobs! -- Tim Rowe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
