*choke* :) ... weelll... let me answer that as if it's serious. you'd have to: a) define http://python.org as including a javascript target for its output. given that pypy have (or had) this, that's not entiiirely outside of the realms of possibility. b) include ooo 10,000 lines of base UI widget libraries, which are all written in pure python. again, not so bad. c) completely rule out any possibility of pyjd because whilst the win32 dependency is python-comtypes (which depends on ctypes which whoops rules _that_ out) the free software dependencies are a choice between pygtk2 plus xulrunner, libcairo, python-cairo, gobject plus python-gobject and many more plus python-xpcom _plus_ python-hulahop, or webkitgtk plus pywebkitgtk plus again many of the same pygtk dependencies, each of which will come to around a whopping 30mb download comprising some 90 to 100 separate libraries in each case... and that's without dealing with the multitude of licenses. ... and without pyjd it's somewhat a pointless exercise. overall i think this just reaffirms that the minimalist but extensible python-tk approach really does have distinct advantages. thus, at last, we come back full circle to the original question. hooray! l. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
