i think the objections are because you seem to be saying (practically did say) that anyone coming to FePy from CPython and expecting the standard libraries is going to be disappointed, as you have been, and that FePy is not ready for such users. what i learned from frederik and luis' responses is that there may be some porting effort, but the core provided is solid enough to make porting/compatibility provisions *possible*, and in some cases, easy or unnecessary. this is valuable information, particularly for someone like me who is interested in FePy, but doesn't have time to explore it and discover the practical considerations, myself. so ultimately i'm glad you spoke up - but have the impression, from the discussion, that you overstated your case, in a way that could convince some that FePy is less generally useful than it actually is. (reading through the thread, i was wishing that both you and frederik would have gotten less wrapped up in trying to prove the other wrong, and worked more to identify what the reasons were for the different perspectives - you both had legitimate reasons for your statements. i would then, as a reader, have had to work less hard to wade through the other stuff and see what the real issues were.) -- ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://myriadicity.net _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
