Hi, I see more and more proposed changes to fix some parts of the code to "partially" support a platform.
I remember that 5 years ago, the CPython code was "full" of #ifdef and other conditional code to support various platforms, and I was happy when we succeeded to remove support for all these old platforms like OS/2, DOS or VMS. The PEP 11 has a nice description to get a *full* support of a new platform: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/ But the question here is more about "partial" support. While changes are usually short, I dislike applying them to Python 2.7 and/or Python 3.6, until a platform is fully support. I prefer to first see a platform fully supported to see how much changes are required and to make sure that we get someone involved to maintain the code (handle new issues). Example of platforms: MinGW, Cygwin, OpenBSD, NetBSD, xWorks RTOS, etc. But the way, is there an exhaustive list of platforms "officially" supported by CPython?
