Thanks Clark. I guess I'd better check out Syck -- I've been trying to 
keep with a pure Python solution, to keep the number of extension I have 
to keep around down a bit, but no sense fighting the tides of history 
and all that.

You wouldn't happen to have any hints on getting libsyck  to compile on 
Windows would you? As far as I know configure doesn't work there. Or am 
I just being obtuse?

Thanks,
