Your third-to-last sentence is correct, but your second-to-last sentence is not. The reason Python people say to use something else is precisely because we don't believe that one-size-fits-all. Some people use other languages in addition to Python, and some people don't use Python at all. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." --Red Adair -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
