Hola Steven,

thanks for getting mercurial support for Plan 9 upstream,
I did the APE port of python (based on the native one) years ago
because nothing worked with the "native" one, I wanted to get X
running then it needed openssl or some socket api that wasn't=20
implemented in the Plan 9 emulation of it (written in python as
charles mentions), because native python didn't have sockets
and things like non-blocking IO provided by APE's select.

basically you're left out with the Language but without significant
parts of the runtime when you use a native port.

thanks again
