If you care about any of these minority platforms except OS/2, C++ is also available, as a google search for "<platform name> C++" quickly finds. OS/2 might be available too; I just didn't look for very long. If you know of platforms that don't support particular features of C++, please link to documentation of that like Neil Hodgson did. If not, please stop spreading FUD. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
