You are welcome. Actually, the inclusion of your processing module in 2.6/3.0 is an excellent example of a non-core developer getting code into the Python distribution. Your blog postings on the process (especially http://jessenoller.com/2009/01/28/multiprocessing-in-hindsight/ http://jessenoller.com/2009/01/28/multiprocessing-in-hindsig...) really show how challenging it is to add something to a system that big (and ported to so many platforms). I appreciate the work you've put into processing (and one of these days I'll get around to using it). Overall, the Python community strikes me as a bunch of really pragmatic, low-key people who have learned the hard lessons in the trenches of software engineering. To me, this is almost more important than the details of the language.
