IDLE is designed for tinkering, not fast handling of non-trivial amounts of output (it runs your program in a separate process and pipes data to the interactive window over the network. and the interactive seems to be redrawing the display for every line that arrives...) but on the other hand, IDLE runs your sample script in less than 0.5 seconds on my cheap Windows box. complain to Sun ;-) </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
