20 years of maintaining COBOL code first written in 1967 perhaps? Or more likely, VisualBasic. Skybuck Flying has posted here before: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2013-October/657648.html Judging from what he considers good style and essential features of a programming language, I expect that he learned to program in BASIC back in the days of line numbers and GOTOs, and has barely adapted to a *slightly* more structured approach in VB. >> > I am still new at python and definetly don't feel comfortable with the > object feature, > > Someone with 20 years of programming shouldn't have any problems > understanding objects in Python. Oh if that were only the case. It is amazing how long some people can work in a profession and still avoid learning anything new. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
