Far too expensive given the amount of       electricity needed. A publically owed and run electical grid is still the       best option.               BP> pyhon plugins in ?              Probably them too if you allow it to. At the moment I have no python2 plugins       and only a few python3 ones as required by whatever needs them. So far I have       kept it to the absolute mimimum.               BP> ideas is okay, just like Dolly Parton thinks about portatoes :)              I have no idea what Dolly Parton thinks about anything.               BP> and you develop ?              Not so much these days. What I do I do because I want to and python isn't a       requirement of anything I've done in the past. The only reason I have it now       is simply because of gui browsers such as firefox and seamonnkey. Myself I       use links in text mode when surfing.               BP> windows is a precompiled problem that do not need python :)              Heh, heh.               BP> there is good tools donw in python for fidonet,              Such as? The only one(s) I've noticed was an app for offine messaging and I       think it was android based.               BP> but some of them dies when python versions is upgraded, this        BP> force python to not be upgraded to keep it running, sadly this is        BP> where i am.... gentoo              That is the best reason for avoiding it in the first place. Mind you one       could say the same thing about ALL development including gcc based.              For my part the basic rule of thumb is to keep everything that is important       lean and mean. Browsers - and other web types - don't usually get much       attention one way or the other and thus python is still an option with me       personally. Like I've said, I can live without it as well as the many       penguins currently running in this location. I seriously doubt many can make       the same claim.              Life is good,       Maurice               o- -o -o -o o- -o -o -o o- -o o- -o -o -o o- o-       /) (\ (\ (\ /) (\ (\ (\ /) (\ /) (\ (\ (\ /) /)       ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
