Specifically it does not have name spaces. Therefore it is fundamentally flawed and cannot be used as a serious object-oriented tool for developing complex applications. However, I'll give you that it is pretty nice for pet-projects and educational purposes (counting parenthesises). But for some, that is more than enough. -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
