Seems like Guido has missed a bet here: namely the case of a script generated on one platform and fed to an interpreter running on another. If I were designing it, I would say that any Python interpreter should take all three variants no matter which platform the interpreter itself is sitting on. Or is cross-platform support not a Python goal? In short, any bug report on this ought to go to the Python project. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
