[9fans] Python on plan9 ?

[Dan Bar Dov]

Is there a port somewhere ?

I've found one at:

Kenji Arisawa  arisawa@aichi-u.ac.jp

has another, I believe, but I can't find it now.  As far as I know
both his port and Jeff Sargeant's (the
http://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/plan9/python) one have sockets
that don't quite work correctly .... and Jeff Sargeant told me that in mail
_yesterday_.

There wasn't enough interest in python to get A Plan 9 Python Interest Group
started last time this came up:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&ic=1&th=c52fa45efe17d6c0,4&seekm=20010104044914.2A620199E3%40mail.cse.psu.edu#p

(Goodness we need better encoding for Urls...)

but I think we have enough interest now.  Lets start one.

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,

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.
