I'm not qualified to comment and I recognise relatively few names amongst the people who do participate over there. The last thing I'd want would be FUD or worse still complete crap being written in response to any thread and me not being in a position to reply. Is this something for the Python community here to be thinking about? -- Cheers. Mark Lawrence.
