Well, it *does* take some pointers from Python but it's still much more like Java (and even C++) under the hood, AFAIK. I'll get to know firsthand soon, though, as I'll have to acquaint myself fully with C#'s benefits, pitfalls and whatnot for a new project I'm on that (for definitely political reasons) will have it as the main development language. I'd pity myself if it weren't temporary; Python withdrawal isn't good for my health ;-) -- Christopher -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
