Should I be impressed that python, unlike so many gnu tools, compiles with 8c and actually works? IT seems I should.
It's not a GNU tool. Like many non-GNU tools, it's just written in portable ANSI C. One nice thing about Microsoft Windows is that lots of people use it without gcc, so code that has been ported to Windows typically is clean enough and structured well enough to make a Plan 9 port easy. Russ
