All done using standard compiler theory.
Yes i'm probably confusing things ; i've not explore Python implentation, i'm just an amateur developer. But what confuse me, is that Python require "real live" interpratation of the code to work properly (or perhaps i also confuse on that but Python rely on interpretation of the code to conform to its own standard, ie variables can change type during execution...) -- Pierre-Alain Dorange Moof <http://clarus.chez-alice.fr/> Ce message est sous licence Creative Commons "by-nc-sa-2.0" <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/fr/> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
