I'm going to stand right with Bakul on this.  The actual reasons are
not technical, but they are sound.  I don't want to install Python on
my Plan 9 equipment, but I have HG on Ubuntu and NetBSD to provide the
services I need.  I also have no idea if this is viable for a mixture
of Plan 9 and Windows, exclusively, I avoid Windows and I'm trying to
move away from Linux and Android (yes, same thing, indeed).

That said, let me add my encouragement to sample apatch as suggested
by Erik, although any valid objections ought to be raised here.  One,
from me, comes from Erik himself "a modified version of Nemo's
(a)patch" (I don't have the exact quote handy.  Nemo, could we please
start this exercise with one, and only one version of this?
