Python is one hell of a flexible language... though I haven;t seen an ything near what Python does in P4, let alone P5 (I think only a few limited functions are used in P4), I can see how they would use Python to jump in and about the Content Paradise stuff, though I sincerely doubt it'll be too much of a problem, for two reasons: 1) Python and its libraries are Open Source, so a patch may already be out, if not on the way out... wouldn't take much for CL to include it, if indeed they use any Python at all in their shopping section... which brings me to: 2) Why would they bother using Python to do the shopping in Windows when it's easier to call and use all of the .dll/.ocx/API/hooks/whaddever that IE uses right now? That way, security patches and maintenance thereof become Microsoft's problem, not CL's. Heh - sorry about the OS thingy... I get a bit protective at times :) /P
