I think it's a "consenting adults" issue. Ie, C programmers always face the issue of "Do I dare strfry() this char[]?" I don't see what difference it makes that the C program in question is being linked with Python, or that the source of the data is a Python string. He's chosen to program in C, let him get on with it. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
