Python's str methods, when they're sufficent, are usually more efficient. Perl integrated regular expressions, while Python relegated them to a library. There are thus a large class of problems that are best solve with regular expressions in Perl, but str methods in Python. -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
