I personalty am not doing anything with Python but I can tell you that the entire VS2008 experience is not at all as limited as your presenting here. I am making contracts and interfaces for SOS based systems that our company will be using in house. My interface and contract class is usable in both web as well as wpf based apps. The cross over between the two environments is superior from the VS experience that I have generated over the past few years. I know that your so focused on it being M$ and Windows and I can say that is your blind side to a very rich programming life with VS. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
