Basically, you will NEED to understand the Eclipse API one way or the other, and jython will not really help you there... -- I know... been there :-) But after you're able to grasp its concepts, you can probably use it without problems... Altough you'll have to extend the same java interfaces Eclipse provides anyway ;-) Cheers, Fabio -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
