Hmm. It's an idea. I also thought of Python -> JavaScript compiler since JavaScript is not fun and getting to test using Python might be cool. But not sure how useful that would be. Plus I bet someone has does this with Java or something. -Brett _______________________________________________ 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
