...except that -- with ctypes, SWIG, Jython and IronPython implementations, pyrex, BoostPython, and a zillion other tools, it's just about impossible to give examples of libraries which Python cannot use pretty easily and successfully. Library availability (through any or all of these tools) is one of the strong practical argument FOR Python!-) Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
