Who said they were the same? I said that just because it doesn't take lives it doesn't mean it isn't important. I wasn't going to reply to not extend this, but this misunderstanding of your was bugging me. I use Python on systems that deal with human health and wrong calculations may have severe impact on a good sized population. Using Python. As with nuclear reactors, dams, airplanes and so on we have a lot of redundancy and a lot of checkpoints. No one is crazy to take them out or even to remove some kind of dispositive to allow manual intervention at critical points. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
