Being able to use my native language without a hitch when naming my variables &c. Java allows that because it supports almost any Unicode character in its identifiers. With Python I occasionally have to stop and think: "I can't name it that. What's better?" Not everyone always writes their programs in English. Once you get used to Java's naming possibilities, it's plain annoying to go back, even if it's just a couple of letters that're lacking in my case. -- Pekka Karjalainen - Oulu, Finland -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
