But languages that share some weakness typically do not share it
equally. Three languages can have some way to do X (which some might
find undesirable while others find it great) but two of the languages
might make it easy to solve problems without ever doing X while the
third language might make i
Jay,
The point of doing compile time and test time checking is the same
reason militaries use layered defenses: More problems get caught. I've
written tons of software tests and architected a testing system for an
entire aircraft. I've also watched lots of errors get by tests.

look like:
MyInnerList = ["MyVar",">",7]
or
MySecondInnerList = ["MyOtherVar","<=",

Sorry, I’ve tried to search the web on this,
but I’m still a little fuzzy. I was hoping a quick e-mail might clear
this up.
What I’m looking for, is a way to turn a python ‘application’,
into a ‘stand-alone’ application. i.e., you don’t need the
