The problem when using Python instead of C for OS development is that C was *specifically designed* to create an OS, while Python was designed for completely different purposes. If you want to write an OS, it would be wise to use a language that is suited for that purpose. If you dislike C so much and prefer Python so much more, your first step should be to design a Python dialect that is more appropriate for writing OS's. (I know that you mentioned C++, not C, but I decided to setup C as a straw-man to make my argument.) - Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
