I want to clarify something. I did look at the code. It was the same thing we had with Cells after four-five hours. Yet the author admitted he had looked at the Cells source, so he should have known he had not implemented, inter alia, synapses, kid-slotting, ephemerals, optional laziness, and worst of all he had omitted the data integrity mechanism encapsulated by with-integrity. In the next exchange we discover he missed the ability to author Python instances individually while mistakenly thinking it was impossible. Exactly how much time am I supposed to spend on someone not willing to spend enough time to understand Cells? I recognize, tho, a kindred spirit more interested in writing their own code than reading and understanding someone else's. :) You too are more eager to flame me over misperceived slights to The Sacred Python than in Python having a wicked cool constraints package, and I am wasting too much time on you. I recognize, tho, a fellow Usenet dlamewar enthusiast. :) kenny -- Cells: http://common-lisp.net/project/cells/ "Have you ever been in a relationship?"
