[Python-Dev] Why Foo is better than Baz

scriptics is positioning tcl as a perl killer: http://www.scriptics.com/scripting/perl.html afaict, unicode and event handling are the two main thingies missing from python 1.5. -- unicode: is on its way. -- event handling: asynclib/asynchat provides an awesome framework for event-driven socket pro- gramming. however, Python still lacks good cross- platform support for event-driven access to files and pipes. are threads good enough, or would it be cool to have something similar to Tcl's fileevent stuff in Python? -- regexps: has anyone compared the new uni- code-aware regexp package in Tcl with pcre? comments? </F> btw, the rebol folks have reached 2.0: http://www.rebol.com/ maybe 1.6 should be renamed to Python 6.0?
