The python version is open source, You can download the source code and begin work immediately if you'd like. I documented where to get it in an earlier email, I'm not going to look up where exactly it is. But it is in the Netsukuku savannah page.
However, I MUST remind you, And everyone else, That. Netsukuku-C and Netsukuku-Python, However ready they may be. Do NOT function, I tried as hard as I could, On multiple virtual machines, For days at at time, Working all day just trying to get the python version to work. I think maybe four days, It finally compiled, but it NEVER worked. The vala implementation is the only functional version, However, I can confirm Netsukuku-C runs on Ubuntu 12.04. The C version is far closer to completion than the Vala version, They were nearing a 1.0 release. I don't know much about the completion of the Python version, Besides the fact that it is far more difficult to use, Even when it works. And requires SIGNIFICANTALY more dependencies and configurations than either other version. I think simplicity is a must for Netsukuku, In porting it to other platforms, In reducing it's resource usage, And in growing its popularity. That is why I am going to work on the C version for the time being. This may change later, The worst that could happen is, We have a more advanced and functional C version. so, I'm not worried. For you. Coyo, If you do want to work on Netsukuku-Python, I would suggest you first attempt to install it following the steps from the Netsukuku wiki. Then, I would suggest you work on making it actually compile and install properly. Anyway, Thank you all for your work and reading this message! ------------------------------ On Fri, 13 Sep, 2013 5:03 AM EDT Coyo wrote: >Well, if we focus on the python implementation, I can help you guys >develop it. > >I know enough python to be able to of use to you guys. > >But I am incapable of learning C.
