> I've always wondered why python's port doesn't use ape...
Why not Ape? Because we need to get non-Plan 9 project thinking about the Plan 9 universe. It's nice to start getting these native ports working and, most important, planning to get those ports back into the mainstream. We need to get people outside the Plan 9 world to start thinking, e.g., about a world where everything is not an int (i.e. signals). I can imagine a python expert finally getting the niceness of notes, and then wondering why Linux doesn't do it that way. It gets interesting when we start providing extremely powerful Python modules that use capabilities only available in Plan 9. You want people to start getting frustrated with old, primitive OSes :-) thanks ron
