If you want to use Python as a reference for designing your language, look at the documentation. It's pretty decent on the subject of language specs (you may find yourself reading a lot of PEPs as well as the "normal" docs). But for actual code - you may want to look at Cython. I've never used it, but it compiles Python code to C (IIRC); that's more likely to be what you're after. What's your language's "special feature"? I like to keep track of languages using a "slug" - a simple one-sentence (or less) statement of when it's right to use this language above others. For example, Python is optimized for 'rapid deployment'. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
