Yes thats the point -- its a real valued spectrum, not a yes/no. eg. You write an app with Tkinter. Are you not using Tcl/Tk? You said earlier to Mark that the relation between python and C variables is irrelevant. Lets take that as true. Will it continue to be irrelevant when you need to write an extension in C? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
