This question is about using Python, not improving/fixing Python; please use comp.lang.python (python-list) for these kinds of questions and do not cc python-dev. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ The way to build large Python applications is to componentize and loosely-couple the hell out of everything. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
