Since Python takes on some of Make's roles (regenrating files only if those need to be regenerated), it is subject to the same problems. So it is Python's fault, and that's where the problem should be fixed. -- Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il> http://www.oreilly.com/news/prescod_0300.html http://www.linux.org.il -- we put the penguin in .com
