... and I thought all three were. You know what they say - truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction has to make sense! Although the device driver example you cite is still ring-3 code, and the Linux kernel is still in C. I like the idea of a special OS written in Python though; it wouldn't be Linux, but it could well be an excellent embedded-device OS. It'd probably end up having to reinvent all sorts of facilities like process isolation and such, though. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
