For that matter, even using OOP a bit with C++ and Perl, I didn't get it until I learned Python. >The problem for me is that I've programmed extensively in C and .asm on >PC DOS way back in 1988.

Moreover, GUI programming in C involves a lot of boilerplate that can be automated more easily with Python. So I think this will be a better solution. Note very very carefully that Python does not require an OOP style of programming, but it will almost certainly be the case that you just naturally start using OOP techniques as you learn Python. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ I support the RKAB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
