Which AFAICT doesn't make it "proprietary", for the common definition of "proprietary" wrt/ softwares. Python is free software, which means that anyone can freely write either it's own Python compiler (which is basically what Jython and IronPython are) or write a compiler for any language to CPython's VM. Sorry for being so nitpicky. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
