Please, read the paragraphs written by Stefano, he made some interesting points. Also what I meant with that line was that when I need to copy a file to (let's say) my cellphone in a simple (and/or stupid) way, this can easily be achieved with that Python module. But at the same time, waiting for you to answer the question we all have: What does it do? Proptip: Perhaps the usage of the following words might help you to convince us all. * scalable (This one is a sure-shot) * non-blocking * über-fast * «web2.0 ready» (I guess this one is kinda demodé these days anyway) * «Sarcasm inside» (Hope Intel doesn't get mad over this) Saludos, Mauro -- JID: lavaram...@nube.usla.org.ar | http://lizaur.github.com/ 2B82 A38D 1BA5 847A A74D 6C34 6AB7 9ED6 C8FD F9C1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
