My bad, you had mentioned in the announcement that you had looked at genetic programming systems but didn't claim that pygene was itself a genetic programming system.

That's what I'm working on while polishing it for release. It's also the case that a well-designed class hierarchy will help folks understand the tools that are available to them. "Understandable by newbies" isn't all that a high a priority for me when writing complex software; what's useful is writing software that's easily used by someone familiar with the general concepts, familiar with programming, and familiar with the language that the project is implemented in. You can't teach all things simultaneously; I'm not sure creating a genetic programming (or genetic algorithms) system that's useful to "newbies" (whatever that means) is even a useful goal in and of itself. -- Erik Max Francis && [EMAIL PROTECTED] && http://www.alcyone.com/max/ San Jose, CA, USA && 37 20 N 121 53 W && AIM erikmaxfrancis As far as I'm concerned, being any gender is a drag. -- Patti Smith -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
