Mozilla XPCOM is basically COM compatible (defined same strucure for IUnknown interface etc.). However I wonder if the port to Kylix for Python4Delphi uses COM at all. What is Python4Delphi, is it a python interpretter or just an API port/wrapper for some Python compiler/interpretter/engine? I don't think there's one Python engine, but many that implement the language "spec", so the wrapper can choose another engine for Unix or a very portable one for both Win and Unix. Anyway, there's other COM implementations for Unix apart from XPCOM and one can easily implement basic parts of COM anyway > I just pointed out time ago that a better idea is to embed > python with Free Pascal.

I've made Logo over ROPS, but Logo isn't that complex compared to Python I think (for example ROPS is not really OOP, since you can't define class types, just consume them from the Delphi host) ---------------- George Birbilis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computer & Informatics Engineer Microsoft MVP J# for 2004-2007 Borland "Spirit of Delphi" 3D, QuickTime, QTVR, Java, Delphi, ActiveX, .NET components, Robotics http://www.kagi.com/birbilis http://birbilis.spaces.live.com _____ avast!
