LOL! That is really funny, in a dark humor kind of way. I don't want the project to fail either. I am not convinced that we will succeed if we go the Java route. However, I am just a grunt in the chain and not in a position to make the decision. I hope I can have some influence on the decision though. I will be pleased if I can get someone to at least seriously consider Python.
I understand your sentiment about not encouraging something that might fail to be done in Python. Hopefully it won't come to that. Thanks for the info on Phaseit apps. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
