My priority right now is cleaning up APE=E2=80=99s getsockopt to support = other Python scripts, a new build of Python and Mercurial=E2=80=94with hggit. = We=20 should have had decent getsockopt() and setsockopt() implementations for a while, both will be needed for any more advanced APE = dependencies=E2=80=94 possibly including trying to port git if you want SO_KEEPALIVE. I look forward to Go=E2=80=99s fifth version control system. Hopefully = that one will be concise, written in Go, and not gimmicky with cartoon advertising everywhere. -jas
