Stackless Python

[Richard Tew]

Hi,

Just thought I would throw this out there, in case it was possible.

There are some platforms which people try Stackless Python on, and
they have problems, but can't give access to their machine for
security reasons. At the moment, I have a guy who is trying to use it
on an s390 and is unable to. Do you have an s390 in your cluster I
could get access to, in order to compile and debug Stackless Python
on? I seem to remember a page on the snakebite.org web site which
might have listed such things, but the web site seems to be down right
now.

Cheers,
Richard Tew.

Well, as developers of "stack-less Python" (InfoWorld's term ;-))*,
you're certainly invited onto the network. We don't, unfortunately,
have any s390 hardware at the moment. Hopefully we'll be able to
remedy this as soon as I can get my hands on someone at IBM.

Hmmm, www.snakebite.org is up for me. (There was a config issue
with Varnish last week that caused it to wedge last week, but I've
fixed that and it's been running fine since then.)

Thanks, this will be appreciated. At the moment when I do a release,
I can only test it solidly on Windows and maybe an x86 linux machine.

Ah, the reference I found to the site said snakebite.org,
www.snakebite.org works fine.

Cheers,
