Since you mentioned "developing", are you trying to write TSRs or device drivers (.SYS) or something else? Is real mode / 8086 acceptable or are you trying to use 286 / XMS or 386 / DPMI, etc? There is a 32-bit DJGPP port of Python 2.4.2, but most people here would probably recommend OpenWatcom, DJGPP (as Eric already said), or even something like FreePascal or FreeBASIC. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/python ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
