Ignore the "scripting language" label and just treat Python as a general purpose "normal" language like C++, Java, Ruby, and so forth. Judge a language by what is done with it, not by the implementation details. > So please tell me what python is, what are it's strength, what is it > good for and when should I use it and not one of the other languages. Easily findable with some web searching...

The simple answer is yes, it's like Java byte code, but it's Python byte code instead... As with any other language, relying on this to hide your code is inadvisable and ultimately a waste of time. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
