(Another Pythoner, cool :) ) But if we accept tests in C, we don't loose anything. If it's a pain to do them in C, we'll end up with just a handful of them which we can simply convert to Perl (which should be trivial since they are just a few). On the other hand, if we end up with a lot of C tests, means that people simply prefer C over Perl (for whatever reason), so we would still have won since we end up with all those tests. -- Dimi.
