Native Client to support python

[Hans Andersen]

I really would like to see native client supporting python.
I think python would be an obvious choice due to the easy leaning and
because python is already used in the project for some tools.

I know that python is not a binary language like C, C++ and C# but I
see a huge potential in the support for python.

Best regards Hans Andersen

it might not be very difficult to get python compiling in the native client environment.

You might bring it up on the python mailing list (if there is one, i bet there is...) and see if you can foster any interest.

Off the top of my head there's no reason why it couldn't happen that I can see.

Ditto this! Would love to see python available in NaCl.

So I have a python interpreter running in NativeClient now under glibc, but my implementation is a little hairy since I'm not an expert in autotools (e.g. I know how to type ./configure and that's it).  I just copied the python source into my own source tree and let my internal build configuration take care of it.  Most of my headache has centered around trying to get everything running under glibc, since nacl-mounts appears to have some bugs using glibc.

I'd be very happy to collaborate with someone who's a little more familiar with the toolchain, since I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do it than what I did.

For those that are less talented, what steps did you take to compile the python using autotools?

I didn't even try using autotools. I generated a separate makefile to compile the sources, and I had to hack on the guts of python to get it all to work, and make substantial modifications to naclmounts as well.  It's pretty ugly, but it works.

Separately, I was able to get llvm to compile (although not to run) using autotools, which was its own huge headache.
