That seems a little odd to me. To the extent that Python has an antithesis, it would be either C++ or Perl. Ruby is antithetical to some of Python's core ideology because it borrows from Perl, but Ruby is much more similar to Python than Perl is. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code -- not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death." --GvR _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
