It doesn't need to use APE. Python doesn't require Unix. (It runs just fine on Win32, for example.)
yes, but what happens when you need modules that depend on stuff that hasn't been ported to Plan 9 natively? I have had problems with apps that needed the select module and also required that the socket one to support ssl (which needs openssl). I guess we should start writing emulation wrappers or whatever they're called for the stuff we don't have -- Federico G. Benavento
