As everybody else, I cannot compare it to Perl, because I don't know Perl good enough (or at all, for that matter). I found Python does *very* well in Windows system administration, in many cases, better than Visual Basic (IMO, and for the things I wanted to do). I've mostly used the COM integration, as the things I wanted to manage had COM (automation) interfaces. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
