Yes, I think so. If you didn't understand how Python managed memory, you couldn't write it effectively. You would end up making unecessary copies, and other pathological programming practices. > And in Java we have factories, builders and builderfactories. > What's so relevant about them? Java is high level, no? When I tried to pin down what an irrelevant detail in a computer program could be, I couldn't do it. I guess comment decorations, maybe? But those would have no bearing on the level of problem for which a programming language is most appropriate. -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
