ok, just to check how good it was for a gsoc... I just built python 2.6.5.., the latest in the python 2 series, python 3 is still very new from http://www.python.org/download/ : "If you don't know which version to use, start with Python 2.6.5; more existing third party software is compatible with Python 2 than Python 3 right now." lotte% 8.out Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 4 2010, 11:50:07) [C] on unknown Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> so, just updating the port is not enough for a gsoc, but getting the port mainstream and fixing the runtime with all Plan 9 support, there are tons of tests in the runtime like the getpasswd thing that was failing in Plan 9 because there's no #if Plan 9 http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/bichued/root/sys/lib/python/getpass.py I'm sure there are tons of this, and then you have the third party apps which also have OS dependant stuff! -- Federico G.
