:: Calling out to OS utilities makes the program OS specific. At least in Python, using the standard modules for decompression etc makes the code work on many more OS's. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 20:20, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
::: Honestly, I'm not terribly worried about that as a requirement. Obviously, use of bundled or more generalized options should be favored, but "calling out" isn't intrinsically wrong. (Except where it's particularly unidiomatic for the problem for the language. "calling out" is probably appropriate in Perl, but probably not appropriate in Python or PHP) In general, this has usually been handled on RC by showing multiple solutions per language. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 20:44, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
::: That's true -- heeeey, but that's not what you argued for earlier. In any event, it's a moot point, because using zip or bzip2 doesn't make a particularly interesting program. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 20:56, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
