Is it the tool or the vocabulary that's written in Python ? <g>

One doesn't need to know what's a compiler is to use a program written
in Python. Most of the time (that is: if the program is packaged for
end-users), it's not even needed to know what's Python.

Could you give more details about this tool and your problem with it ?
