From one Java head to another I suggest you park what you know about Java and approach Python with a clear mind. Python is not Java and Java is not Python, that much has become clear. Python has actually been around longer than Java and contains many features you will be familiar with, serialization and introspection to name but two. The whole 'everything is an object' thing is a bit strange at first but actually it just means that everything you write is wrapped up in a component that exposes various standard methods and attributes, you treat functions as Objects and modules as Objects and even your classes will automagically sprout new attributes and properties, at least that's what I've discovered so far. There is no real enforced concept of information hiding, no binding of type to variable in fact no concept of typing at all as far as I can see. No interfaces and no subtype polymorphism (Python has 'Duck Type' polymorphism and I haven't really explored all the ramifications of this yet). It does however have multiple inheritance. In trying to get a handle on the language it has helped me to think of Python as a friendly interface onto the C programming language, it may or may not help you There are some very experienced pythonistas here and I'm sure you will get the help you need. There is a tutor mailing list and a great first starter is Dive into Python (google it) I can't say that Python will replace Java for me, I've been using Java since version 1, but it's got a good standard library and good support here and on the mailing list ... and it supports Unicode :-) I like it, give it a chance and you will probably like it too. lipska -- Lipska the Kat©: Troll hunter, sandbox destroyer and farscape dreamer of Aeryn Sun
