No, that's not what I'm saying. Do learn to read. What I'm saying 
is that the OP would be better served by posting the problem 
statement in a group more closely related to the actual problem.

We may, I trust, presume that the Python source he is building is 
production code that has successfully been built before by other 
people? If so, then it's not a language issue, and that is enough 
to put it beyond comp.lang.c's brief.

I tell the compiler to do it. Don't you?

Your inability to comprehend analogies does not stop them from 
being valid illustrations of the gaping holes in your "argument" 
(such as it is).

Laughing my socks off. Time to plonk, perhaps?

Yep; time to plonk.

Bye-bye.
