I tend to agree with you. However, I should say I'm observing a strange phenomenon. Among others, I wrote two interactive interpreters with PySide 1.1.2 for Python 3.3 and Python 3.2. If I'm runing such a task with Py3.2 (more than a minute) >>> timeit.timeit("a = '\u2345'*100000; 'x' in a") it runs smoothly. but if I run the same task with Py3.3 my window seems to be idled, and a message like, Ne répond pas (something like "Do no respond") appeares in the title bar of the window (my application title + that msg). The cursor get transformed into the win7 "waiting cursor". The app seems to freeze, but in fact, it is not and the resulting values are correct. How do I know this? Very simple, the resulting values are in exact concordance with the values I obtain with my interactive intepreters, but built with tkinter! jmf -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
