I have near-zero experience in python. How's this for a good reason. I wanted to implement a new feature, and it was obvious what to do, and worked, despite my having never used Python before :). Besides, with projects like Parrot and Pirate taking flight, the speed argument is probably going to become a moot argument in the near future. -- Sam Vilain, sam /\T vilain |><>T net, PGP key ID: 0x05B52F13 (include my PGP key ID in personal replies to avoid spam filtering) If you're sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign. - George W.
