Hi Bjorn, I think the best approach is highly-dependent to your current C application design and "way of doing things". For a type of application you would take the opposite path than for other I thought. Yes I did that one time, but I re-coded all from scratch... and since that I usually do in r

PHP and Python are different languages. They do things differently. You are just familiar more with one than the other. Give it some time. The many file approach is the modular design of Python. Having the standard library separate from the main Python DLL is an advantage, not a disadvantage. For
