I wouldn't worry about it. There are Python subsystems (like threads) that don't work on certain OS's, fine, total portability means not being able to rely on them, and that's ok. I doubt any Crays are still running, or at least running any numerical code written in Python. Same for VMS. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
