The real problems are with integration of modules that aren't written in Python. Python-only modules don't have the version compatibility problems which C modules do. Loading a Python-only module from an external source is usually not a big deal. Building a C module, especially one with dependencies on other components, can be a big deal. So, focus on problems with modules which have C components. John Nagle -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
