I for one would love to see a simple test that can be run to verify compliance to the Python language standard, if such a thing exists, to help prevent Jython, IronPython and similar efforts from diverging and causing a Lisp/Scheme kind of schism in Python. Alarmist perhaps, but it would still be a nice test suite to have. Mike -- Michael P. Soulier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
