The port was originally contributed by Octavian Cerna (sf:tavyc), in bugs.python.org/488073. He did that because the version of Python that came with AtheOS was 1.5.2. > Thanks for doing this BTW! I love cleanups. It took some effort to integrate this for 2.3, so I feel sad that this is now all ripped out again. I'm not certain the code gets cleaner that way - just smaller. Perhaps I should just reject patches that port Python to minor platforms in the future, as the chance is high that the original contributor won't keep it up-to-date, and nobody else will, either, for several years.
