The advantage of Python over C - to me - is in the higher order abstractions it provides, not in pointless discussions of purity. Even better, Python allows me to -mix- both C & Python together, to take advantage of the strengths of each as appropriate. Try writing something of complexity in Python. Then write the same thing in C. -Then- make your decision which you prefer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
