Hello, I have been doing some thinking about writing an open source implementation of FoxPro. I write mostly in Python and I been thinking Python has too many similarities and strengths not to take a close look at basing the FoxPro project on Python. Some of the benefits of a Python approach include: - The Python interpreter is similar to the FoxPro interpreter in basic parse and execute function; - Python works on multiple platforms; - Python core code is easy to read and well-designed; - Python has a large community and so does FoxPro -- getting some cross over will probably be good for both camps. - The FoxPro community would welcome this project I think. Just wondering what the group comments on this idea are. Paul
