I was being a Windows bigot there for an email. :) And rightly so ! :) I think the 'python20_bcpp' name is more Windows-like, and if there is some area in which Python should try to stay as platform specific as possible, it's platform specifics such as libraries :) Would Windows users(*) when seeing 'bcpp_python20.dll' be thinking "this is a bcpp specific library of python20", or would they be thinking "this is a bcpp library for use with python20" ? I'm more inclined to think the second, myself :-) *) And the 'user' in this context is the extention-writer and python-embedder, of course. -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi!
