I believe that those concerned about the Python dependency are more concerned about the disk space and "fatness" of having python installed at all. I know I could cook a version of XenCD which fit into 256Mb or less of RAM if the rootfs didn't have to have Python installed. Others are thinking way way smaller than that. Mark> It seems a shame to rewrite in C but OTOH with the XCS Mark> framework... Yes, exactly. Eventually, someone is going to get annoyed enough at the Python dependency to port x2d2 to xcs or write a lightweight replacement. I'd like to see us standardize around xcs, and have a healthy community of competing control tools. Last time this came up, however, we got into intractable arguments about TCP vs UDP for xcs and whether layering daemons was advised. Those contributing working code will rightly determine where this all ends up. -- jared@wordzoo.com http://www.geekcode.com/geek.html -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCM/CS/B d s:++>+ a- C++(++++)$ ULBSH++++ P+++ L+++ E++(+++) W++++ N- !o !K w !O M V PS+++(-) PE++(--) Y+ PGP>++ t@ 5 X+ R>+ tv++>-- b>++ DI+ D- G e++ h- r++>+++ y+++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
