I just can't see any other reason to pass from python to asm.
If you want to eliminate any dependency on python for instance, you 
would just rewrite it in C or C++, without bothering to go to asm.

I just do not see what OTHER reason would make developping in asm a 
better choice than just C.

However, it would have been better for him to

OK, let's do that.

Mr "DFS" *WHY* you want to write asm pleeeeeze?
