A big issue that I have with Jython is that its ElementTree XML parser support is so increadibly slow. It could seriously benefit from a better integration between the Java XML support it uses and the Python ElementTree module that it inherits from CPython. Considering that XML is a requirement in many real world applications, especially in the Java world, you (Sophie) might be interested in adding all three of Python, Java and XML to your toolbox at the same time, while also learning how to benchmark and optimise Java and Python code. I think that would pretty quickly get you up to speed with real world software development. Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
