Your opinions are noted, thank you, but I don't agree with you. There are portions of the code that are under review for patents and as such need to be protected. I'm investigating whether Python is the right language to use for a commercial CAD application. While I think Python is a great scripting language, there seems to limitations with regards to packaging and distributing programs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
