As you speak about fortran, our project is targeted to allow scientific
researchers to write physical experiment scripts (driving experimental
devices in a standard way), for them Python will be really a temporarly tool
(*) which will need support, and if we could make errors less frequents its
a good thing for us and for everibody.
A+
Laurent.
(*) Experiments are only a small part of their activity, after its more
result analysis and article writing/pulishing.
