It looks like it has the potential to span what currently takes C/C++ plus SWIG plus Python, but puts it into one framework, and may run more quickly than the other. It also runs under Mono on many OSes and .NET on Windows. Is it because it has touched the hands of Microsoft? It is "open source" (in as far as the shared source license looks open), and Microsoft has (so far) been very faithful to replicating CPython's behavior. If it had generic cross-platform graphics, or were embedded in a browser, then it sounds like it might be just the right Python for doing many educational projects mentioned on this list in the last few weeks. -Doug > --Dethe -- Douglas S.
