Well... there *is* a finer tool: Clipper :-). But those are pretty
close, both being xBase dialects. However, Clipper besides having a
moderately better syntax, also has a multi-platform Free Software
implementation called Harbour.
That said, I still like Python better. It may not be *quite* as agile
at manipulating relational tables, but for most everything else it's a
bit better.
