Netware Python?

[GMane Python]

Hello all. Looking, I have not found a version of Python which runs on
Netware by Novell. I wonder, since Java there is a Java for Netware, is
this where Jython would come in as useful, to be able to use a Python script
where Java is installed?

I'm interested in the threaded heartbeat program in the cookbook for my
Netware environment, to be connected to a nice graphical front end on my
Win32 station, to know when servers are up or down (well, since Netware is
hardly ever down, when the WAN links are up or down)

I'm not really up on Netware, but I believe that Netware's
Open Enterprise Server is based on Suse Linux as the
underlying OS, so Python should run there just fine.

Google turned up the following that you might want to review:
