(being the usual me, I can't resist putting a stick into a nest of pythons) OK, so what projects and why would you consider Python: 1. "clearly unsuitable" 2. "plausible but there are sound technical reasons to be wary" BTW, I don't think I agree with your statement elsewhere about unit tests - if you write a prototype (in any language), why bother with unit tests, and if you write security-critical app, maybe the tests should be written anyway (again, whatever is the language chosen for a project). -- It's a man's life in a Python Programming Association. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
