One thing that I would love to see included in Python is a native library for fast inter-process communication, including support for message passing primitives and remote object calls. I know that there are a number of offerings in this arena: third party libraries such as Pyro, message passing libraries such as the ones from ScyPy, and standard libraries such as the XMLRPC ones. The key requirements are: "fast", and "native". By fast, I mean, highly optimized, and at least as fast (in the same order of magnitude, let's say) as any other competitive environment available. By native, it means that it has to be included in the standard distribution, and has to be as transparent and convenient as possible. In other words, it has to feel like a native part of the language. -- Carlos Ribeiro Consultoria em Projetos blog: http://rascunhosrotos.blogspot.com blog: http://pythonnotes.blogspot.com mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
