The first Python port aimed at a so-called "native" port but as I
worked on it to import a newer version of Python, it became clear that
Python's standard libraries, certainly as used by most Python
applications, are so closely bound up with POSIX interfaces (eg, the
exact components of the stat structure) that large chunks of APE were
simply being replicated in Python, which seemed a bit pointless (and
actually quite hard, as when emulating select).
