I would tend to think that Lisp is more suited for Genetic Programming than Python is. However, it is possible to do. Heck, I even had the crazy idea of doing Genetic Programming in C++ once, however ugly that would've been!!!!! Actually, there is an AI project that I'm doing in Python rather than Lisp because Python is much better supported. A pity, really, since Lisp has so much more power and expressiveness. Alas, Python has extensive libraries and are well documented to boot. Only an academic would have the time to do anything with Lisp. :-( -- -- Edmond Dantes, CMC And Now for something Completely Different: http://experience.MyInfiniteSuccess.com http://sheetrock.searchborg.com http://footwear.AreYouTaken.com http://handmade-invitations.giftsantiquescollectables.com http://screws.SlamItYourself.com http://sex-education.WomenLite.com http://scratching.KindPets.com Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
