I'm a Java programmer as my day job, most of the time, and I use Eclipse. I'm fairly proficient with it, but nevertheless I'm more productive with Python and SciTE than I am with Java and Eclipse. Eclipse helps a lot, true - I certainly wouldn't want to code Java without it or something like it - but it's not enought to pull ahead of Python's inherent superiority. -- Cheers, Simon B, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
