Eek! Who am I?
I don't really want to work on the thing any more because I have no use
for it at the moment. If someone else can do a better job on the port,
I will be happy to host the updated version.

Hello 9fans,

>has another, I believe, but I can't find it now.
Look:
ftp://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/import/
or
ftp://ar.aichi-u.ac.jp/plan9/import/
Mine is 1.51 and that is enough for me.
I heard someone else has 2.0

Sounds like a plan--now if only my Plan9 disk hadn't died. :-(
Some current thoughts:
- Does anyone have time to organize this? I had hoped to, but that
has turned out to be wishful thinking on my part--I want to
concentrate on school instead.
- I have hope that the single-level build procedure in Python 2.1
will be more adaptable to Plan 9 than the previous multi-level
make.
- The most important first step, it seems to me, is to get the build
going and get the fixes into Python 2.2, so that it becomes part
of the standard release.
- Two versions are probably needed; an APE version that will run
Posix-dependent Python code and a native Plan 9 version.
- Once the first step is done, it seems to me the next step would be
to provide Python objects that encapsulate major Plan 9 elements.
- It seems to me that the Pippy (Python for Palm) project, with its
small virtual machine, could provide a base for small clients.
- It needs a name. All my notes say "9thon," so that's my suggestion.
