The burden is on myself, as the API designer and documenter to make it as accessible as I might want it to be. And I think I can accomplish that without building in crippling limitations as to what depth a "scripter" might want to explore - even to the extent of extending the API itself. I guess its a matter of the audience one hopes to reach. There are a number of other dynamic geometry applications out there. Despite my own interest in the subject, it was precisely the limitations their API, whether GUI based or otherwise, that led me to the explorations that is becoming PyGeo. It was the limitaions in exploring *geometry* to which I refer. Having no per se interest in programming, I would not impose the assumption of such an interest on my users. I guess I hope to reach others like myself. With no particular interest in programming, per se. Just with what you can get do with it. Art -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
