I think one of the issues that really hurts PythonCE is the fact that it's not part of the mainline, so its availability and status is always questionable.
A few weeks ago on the core python-dev mailing list, Guido weighed in on this: "My reason for wanting people to contribute ports back is that if they don't, the port is more likely to stick on some ancient version of Python (e.g. I believe Nokia is still at 2.2.2). Then, assuming the port remains popular, its users are going to pressure developers of general Python packages to provide support for old versions of Python. While I agree that maintaining port-specific code is a pain whenever Python is upgraded, I still think that accepting patches for odd-platform ports is the better alternative. Even if the patches deteriorate as Python evolves, they should still (in principle) make a re-port easier." Just my opinion, but I don't think PythonCE will get much traction unless and until someone decides to clean up the build and contribute it back to the core. -- Tim Lesher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
