"... aren't already experienced C/C++/etc developers". There are lots of higher level languages (including Python itself) that people can be an experienced in and still have never had the "pleasure" of learning the ins and outs of dynamic linking and binary ABIs. Foundations made of sand - it isn't surprising that software sometimes fails, it's a miracle that it ever works at all :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | [email protected] | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
