I don't know whether C compilers generate assembly mnemonics or direct machine code, but the distinction for this argument is irrelevant. The argument in this thread is that it's not worth the *human coder* writing assembly, not that no assembly code is involved in the process anywhere. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
