the main reason indeed is that I like perl, and Collax does as well. The main reason why perl is so powerful is CPAN; afaik, there's nothing alike for python. Perl has traditionally been the language for tasks like this. > if you like pearl and some other people > python, would it be possible to somehow generalize the interface so that > it would be easy to add python support later? Unfortunately, I don't see how that would be possible. My module consists of three main components: - The module itself. It's tasks are initializing the Perl interpreter plus the functions that call the perl methods finally. Perl specific stuff. - The reverse: XSUB programs that give the perl side access to the C structures. XSUB is perl specific. - Perl infrastructure. Convenience packages/modules/functions that give easy access to common tasks, such as canonizing telephone numbers etc. Pure perl code. What you /can/ gather from my code is a template for a possible python module, though :)) I expect to have a fully working module with most of the infrastructure in approx. 2-3 months.
