We are new to developing applications with Python. A question came up
concerning Python libraries being portable between Architectures. More
specifically, can we take a python library that runs on a X86
architecture and run it on a SPARC architecture or do we need to get the
native libraries for SPARC?
Thanking you in advance

if it is a pure python module then it will work anywhere
if it is a C module for example cStringIO then it would be architecture
dependent.
some modules are wrappers to external library's (example GTK) so for
those to work the necessary library files would need to be available
if you are using modules that are in the standard library (except some
platform specific ones ) then they should be available across all
platforms, otherwise you would need to check
see http://docs.python/library for details of the standard library
