I would be highly interested in Python. I already said that C/C++ is not really my thing (I still need to take the time to learn it well). Python is my language of choice. If anyone manages to get something working with Python, I will happily test it, report bugs, and assist in writing documentation where possible. Thanks for bringing up the topic, Stéphane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk9EGncACgkQz5Aem72C2YygIACfTLtLuYiPjZgMKis+F+vpvK9r 3voAnjQxwKSQUECO2v9Vv337LjgXSNxv =qLoQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list glob2-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
