That is fine with me. I don't know how feasible it is for me to use pyparsing for this project considering I don't have admin access on the box that is eventually going to run this. To add insult to injury Python is in the version 2->3 transition (I really would like to push the admins to install 3.1 by the end of the year before the amount of code written by us gets any bigger) meaning that any third party library is an additional burden on the future upgrade. I can't remember if pyparsing is pure Python. If it is I might be able to include it alongside my code if it is not too big. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
