Is Python your only programming language?

[David Mertz]

|I want to ask you hard-core c.l.p Pythonistas: Do you use Python for
|everything?  (and I'm counting Python + C extensions as just Python)

I think the co-author of (parts of) my Gnosis Utilities package, Frank
McIngvale won't mind if I share this recent brief exchange with y'all.
On my OS/2 machine, the case of some files in the distribution were
getting messed up, so I wrote a little script to fix things up before
packaging:

  DM> OK... but it's REXX.  On the plus side, this will make sure all
  DM> the files are right, not just those I remember to check.

  FM> You'll have to excuse me for cracking up that the author
  FM> of Text Processing in Python just sent me a REXX script!! :-)
  FM> Hm, lemme crack open my book and see if I can figure out
  FM> how to rewrite it in this newfangled braceless python thang ;-)

FWIW. (still, REXX is quite braceless).

Yours, David...
