But I am quite happy with what I have been given already, I am provided much by many who labored before me. If only I could learn how to make C++ plugins then, may be then, all the mysteries will be over, and I could join the ones that contribute to the welbeing of the user base. <br><br>I was under the impression that the C++ API methods return the same data as the Python methods. Is that true or am I thinking the unthinkable?<br><br>Thank you again for a swift response!<br><br>May you have a blessed new year,<br><br>Maaza <br><br>--- On <b>Sun, 1/2/11, Noli Sicad <i><nsicad@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px
