Yeah, that's called experience :) Part of that experience is the rather painful one of spending a good few dev hours trying to sandbox Python inside a C++ process, only to find that the sandbox got busted wide open pretty quickly as soon as I asked people to try to. (It was in a safe environment, firewalled off from everything. It was deliberately done as a security test... and the system failed so spectacularly that we had to make a complete change to the core model, among other things not using Python. Which made me sad. We had to go with ECMAScript and its flaws.) But that means that I know straight away what to look for. This is why we have these kinds of mailing lists / newsgroups. Every one of us has some experience; when you put a question out to the collective, there's a high probability that someone will know the answer. It's not that there are "smart people" and "dumb people", and that dumb people ask questions that smart people answer; it's that the whole group is smarter than any one of us. And then the answer gets posted to the whole group, and we all become that bit smarter for it :) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
