Which kind of kills the experiment, right? :( Hans Pretty much. It would be possible to port the code back to that version, but it would be a fair amount of work and not something I d be interested in. I prefer Python 3 for new projects for a number of reasons; some of those affect pydecnet significantly. I suppose you could see what s involved in building Python 3.3 on VMS? :-) paul
