Thanks for the advice but ... my (currently working) emulator is already written in C, I don't see the point of calling it from a python module. I had 2 options: port the emulator from C+Allegro to C +SDL or port it to Python+Pygame+SDL... And the fun is trying to write it in pure python with pygame, without external C :-) I'll do a quick test, if I see that I can't achieve 100% speed in my other computer (DualCore2 1.82Ghz, the basic-standard-minimum computer nowadays), then I'll give up, but at least I want to try it X-D Today or tomorrow I'm finishing the pyinliner.py preprocessor X-D. I'll paste the results here :-) Thanks for your answer :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
