Hi Guys,

The intention of my post is not to start a 'comparison war' between open
source and close source.

I agree with David Brown with his reply that each has its own merits.

Let us not hog up the mailing list with 'which is better' as this will be a
very long discussion.

I think I have found what I wanted from Armin Steinhoff's reply. His
suggestion is to use pyrex to translate my 'critical' python source to C
and build it as a library module. But I do not know why he did not suggest
me to use pyrex to translate my full python source to C. Nevertheless, this
idea seems workable.

Now I will have to decide to have:
a. fully closed apps
b. fully open apps
c. partial open and closed source apps

Looks like c. is the best.

thanks.
