That's strange, I have those very same memories. In fact I was looking
for someone who would appreciate this:
#ifdef PYTHON
Cheers,

Incidentally, the Unisoft m68k port of SVR2 at the core of A/UX was also
ported to the Perq-5 in 1986/1987, to create the Crosfield Studio 9500.
Perq had just folded, but a core group of ex-Perq employees worked with a
team from the UK company Crosfield Electronics to take the machine (which at
that time existed only as a wire-wrap prototype) through to production.
I was a member of that team and I have fond memories of sitting in a
basement office in Pittsburgh surrounded by kernel listings (with a very
puzzled look on my face).
Just a small footnote in Unix history...
