Python is an interpreted programming language. I was looking for a READABLE programming language available in the public domain that resembled REXX (REXX is not public domain) and I came upon Python. It looks interesting and I wanted to try it but I couldn't get the thing to compile. I thank you for your interest. In the time between my post and now, I've already got a message from Theodore Jump, he has compiled Python using the GCC and EGCS systems on CygWin32. The binaries are available at : http://www.i21.com/~tjump/files/index.html They work great. Download them, check out the documents at http://www.python.org and try your hand at Python programming. Thanks again. Michael J.

I do have roughtly 80 ozs. of brain power to spare today.
