Hey Benny!

 BP> if its solar powered its not so expendsive in long run, but it
 BP> can be when to bay it surre

No solar power here at the moment.  Far too expensive given the amount of electricity needed.  A publically owed and run electical grid is still the best option.

  BP> pyhon plugins in ?

Probably them too if you allow it to.  At the moment I have no python2 plugins and only a few python3 ones as required by whatever needs them.  So far I have kept it to the absolute mimimum.

 BP> ideas is okay, just like Dolly Parton thinks about portatoes :)

I have no idea what Dolly Parton thinks about anything.

 BP> and you develop ?

Not so much these days.  What I do I do because I want to and python isn't a requirement of anything I've done in the past.  The only reason I have it now is simply because of gui browsers such as firefox and seamonnkey.  Myself I use links in text mode when surfing.

 BP> windows is a precompiled problem that do not need python :)

Heh, heh.

 BP> there is good tools donw in python for fidonet,

Such as?  The only one(s) I've noticed was an app for offine messaging and I think it was android based.

 BP> where i am.... gentoo

That is the best reason for avoiding it in the first place.  Mind you one could say the same thing about ALL development including gcc based.

For my part the basic rule of thumb is to keep everything that is important lean and mean.  Browsers - and other web types - don't usually get much attention one way or the other and thus python is still an option with me personally.  Like I've said, I can live without it as well as the many penguins currently running in this location.  I seriously doubt many can make the same claim.

Life is good,
Maurice
