PyPy is interesting, but I use various libraries that make use of C extension modules. I'm not going to compile them all myself, which is apparently what I would need to do for PyPy. PyPy or other implementations won't work for me unless they're completely drop-in replacements for the interpreter. -- --OKB (not okblacke) Brendan Barnwell "Do not follow where the path may lead.
