I would have thought it would not be too difficult to translate a compiled Python program from one architecture for another. Python is still basically an interpreted language; the "compiled" form is just more quickly machine-readable at the expense of human-readability, and the bytecode should be decompilable. You might lose variable and function names; but as long as compiling the decompiler output produces the same resulting bytecode as the original object code, we can deem the decompiler output equivalent to the original source. This should then be compilable under a different architecture. -- AJS delta echo bravo six four at earthshod dot co dot uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
