As always, the answer is "it depends." If you plan on doing Win32 python programming, it doesn't make sense to use anything other than a Windows system. It is usually easier if you can develop on a system that is similar to where your programs will run, but it is by no means a requirement. Your biggest challenge if developing on unlike systems, will be using methods that might be OS-specific (os.fork() comes to mind). As long as you keep things neutral, you shouldn't have huge issues. -- David Rock da...@graniteweb.com
