Well - I really like Python! But - climbing back on the soapbox - far more important than any linguistic quibble is a robust GUI interface that might *unburden* any language from the tedium of creating a powerful and effective user interface. I would go so far as to say that, while this is the only thing an atrocity like VB has going for it, it *trumps* most everything. This was the great hope of the Delphi<->Kylix thing. The Windows implemntation (Delphi) was/is a magnificent productivity tool. And if Kylix has failed then we are still scratching about with TKinter, Glade, wxGlade, EasyGUI, or {whatever} just to to bring up the rear on Linux. Python is fun, but how do we get it to desktop primetime ? Thomas Bartkus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
