Oh, there are a few reasons: * Not everyone likes a white space sensitve language[1] * python is magnitudes larger and slower than lua * python needs a lot more work to be used as embedded language And: Running python on an embedded processor is not the same as embedding python in a programm. Attila Kinali [1] I actually hate that. As someone who works on different architectures with different OS and different editors, python is a real pain to work with. Because you have to figure out in each and every editor how to get it to show the white space colour coded so that subtle and _invisible_ (it's white space after all) become visible. And quite a few editors do not support this. Why should they? White space is not supposed to be visible after all. -- The trouble with you, Shev, is you don't say anything until you've saved up a whole truckload of damned heavy brick arguments and then you dump them all out and never look at the bleeding body mangled beneath the heap -- Tirin, The Dispossessed, U.
