Response to: Scaling...
It actually scales very well, as long as you're using a proper output stream and nor cStringIO or something like that. It emits as it goes and holds very little state. As for back-tracking, that sounds very contradictory to your ned for scalablity: backtracking requires maintaining stte, which makes it non-scalable. But to answer your question anyway, backtracking is not very easy using this techique. --Uche http://uche.ogbuji.net
