I take your point. However I was not intending to make a disparaging remark and certainly didn't expect my post to be taken that way. I've been down this road before (doing shell scripting things in Python), and it works pretty well for many things. Was just sharing my experience is all. I don't mean to discourage exploration for exploration's sake. By all means have fun. Python certainly is a fun language. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
