The above is not a flame, but a fact of life ;-) Well, that may be true. Do you python heretics have anything like CPAN? (CPAN = Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, a huuuuge library of various, very useful modules?) Does python interpreter contain a little report-writer? How able is python's regular expressions parser and can it do everything that perl can? I'm asking because I want to learn python as it is frequently used to create nice GUI interfaces. Most of Red Hat "wizards" are python envelopes of shell commands. I've also heard that it is much simpler to learn then perl. Ite missa est, perl is the best. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@freelists.org put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at http://www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
