OK, I know people in Sun and possibly H-P I could ask, and I may have an arm or two to twist to get to IBM. But worst-case, what budget would the infrastructure committee need for the hardware and (more importantly) if the hardware materialized, would there be manpower to maintain the platforms as "Python supported"?

You can ask me as far as Sun goes. There are probably a variety of options:

1) Get the open source version of VirtualBox and use it to run a virtualized OpenSolaris
2) I can see if we can get folks access to a box running Solaris
3) I can ask and see if there are people at Sun who would be willing to jump in and help

We actually have a couple of Solaris buildbots already - as I understand it, the issue there isn't Solaris as such, it's being able to use the Sun compiler instead of GCC to compile ctypes/libffi.

Cheers,
Nick.
