I'm surprised he was surprised. Better than 90% of the desktops in the world run Windows, so statistically speaking, 90% of the downloads should be from Windows users. (Note that I'm ignoring the inconvenient fact that a much lower percentage of those Windows users have are technically competent enough to be interested in Python at all.) The simple fact that the Windows command shell sucks means that we NEED tools more than the Linux community. Many of the jobs that I tackle with Python would be more appropriate with awk or bash or sed on Linux. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
