Nice - I just have to find the _time_ to learn Python well enough to
point out where and how it's better - I like the look and concepts of
Python (tho' I'd like some sort of strong typing option [constrictor
maybe ;-) ] ) but I just don't have enough hours on the d**n day to
get deep enough into it. Like any other language it's not until you're
deep into a major app with it that you find out its strengths and
weaknesses.
