XML ? YAML ? JSON ? ConfigParser module ? CSV file ? UML ? I'm finding it hard to be more specific, given your original post. so just squirted some data formats that are supported by multiple languages and can be used to transfer data between them. P.S. I don't know why I put XML first :-) P.P.S. And UML seems to be about pretty diagrams rather than a textual format, but no doubt, with the size of the companies behind it, there's probably a textual format hidden in their too. - Paddy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
