I don't know about VB but Java does a much better job of supporting standards than Python does. Python's advantage is in being a much more pleasant language to code in. It would benefit greatly from also doing a better job implementing standards. Many or most of the Python library modules that purport to implement standards just sort of get halfway there and then stop. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
