Aside from the porting effort I realize that there are speed issues, but for some of us portability and the simple extensibility offered by the JPython /Java combination outweigh speed considerations.
I'm pretty shocked to hear a claim that Java is portable. Seriously, do the xBSD, Mac OS X Server, and other non-standard platforms have reasonable Java?
Real world experience has shown Python infinately more portable, there are good JVMs on xBSD, MacOS, Linux, etc., but they each have some pretty major incompatibilities... Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli@digicool.com http://www.digicool.com
