+1 for Python from me, even though until very recently I was a Tcl bigot. As an example, it's been at the heart of Blender since the 2.5 rewrite and it works very well indeed. It can be used to write in a functional (to a certain extent) style as well as imperative and object-oriented styles, and the string handling in the standard library is very decent. If there's a prototype/proof-of-principle that needs to be written in Python, I'd be happy to contribute. If it's to be done in Perl, I'm washing my hair that month ;) Cheers Gareth _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
