IIRC it was library issues -- for one thing I still find it a lot harder to manage an MS Windows GUI under Python than I do under .NET (I've never succeeded in getting Iron Python to run properly). In one sense you could argue that that's not a language issue, and you'd be right: there's nothing in the syntax or semantics of either language that makes it so. But in another sense I'd say it is a language issue (and of course I think I'm right!) because Python aims to be platform independent, and whilst that means gains in portability it means that in return it loses the ease-of-programming of a tightly integrated platform. -- Tim Rowe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
