Sam, Just wondering what the status is on python/parrot/pirate/pyrate. These both look outdated. http://www.intertwingly.net/stories/2004/10/05/pyrate.zip http://pirate.versionhost.com/viewcvs.cgi/pirate/ Is there a up to date cvs repo? Can we get this code checked into the parrot svn repo? Kevin T
