No. .NET Core (what the OP asked about which is not .NET) is a cross-platform framework. Obviously Python and .NET differ in runtime semantics with respect to the original source code, however they are now roughly equivalent in that both specifications are cross platform. I personally like .NET Core a great deal and as the framework matures and it starts to present all of the .NET APIs, it will become a viable choice on non Windows platforms. jlc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
