This is a FAQ on comp.lang.python--unfortunately, it hasn't been documented
here:

  http://www.python.org/doc/FAQ.html

It would be great if you would research the archives (use
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search), present a summary of major
points previously made, your opinion on the suggestions that have been made,
and whether you still have a question after that.  And, heck, while you're
at it, figure out how to add it to:
