Whoa. I hope that my earlier posts didn't imply any "political" issues. I submitted a patch to python-dev, it wasn't up to snuff.. But I wasn't motivated to rework it enough to get it accepted. I don't want anyone to have the false impression that I was disappointed by the response I received from python-dev folks. It's a hard problem. Now google has reminded me the big issue was assignment to errno is not allowed on CE because errno is not a variable on the CE platform. Start with this thread http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-September/028884.html Of more interest is gvr's response: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-September/028893.html And this problem, reserved keywords: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-September/028905.html I think those two threads, from 2002, pretty much cooled me to the idea of re- integration. (note I was also trying to support Python on NetWare, which had similar issues with errno) NetWare is dead now, but CE remains.. ;-) -- Brad Clements, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com AOL-IM or SKYPE: BKClements _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
