yes, it is just you. :-) Your comparison is a very poor match. How can you even begin to compare a hammer or a screwdriver with a computer language? A more apt comparison would be a Roman general with his spade directing his troops to attack. Some generals have more expresiveness than others. The barbar generals will just grunt while the French generals will inspire with some poetic invocation. -Ramon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
