Note that it's possible to "compile" Python code into bytecode. Not Java bytecode as JPython does, but Python bytecode. But yes, it's possible to use the good old #!/usr/bin/python for scripts that are interpreted every time. Or maybe I'm wrong? --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
