PSF Python is 300 MB?!

Hi!

Interesting (or fun?).
Have you a Internet page, or only README?

Just an FYI, but Python 2.5 comes with ctypes, not calldll. Might be worth
switching to remain compatible at that level.

Hm.... didn't I leave ctypes in there? I added calldll because it had
a really nice can opener.

Why do you think curses are essential? I'd rip out them too, they have
no use on Windows.

I'll try to figure out a way to let people know who the FAQ I am

Oh, I have no idea (didn't download). I just sort of assumed if you had
included calldll you probably hadn't included ctypes.

I was reading an article about the One Laptop Per Child initiative the
other day, and being a Python fan I wondered if there are any plans to
put Python on it, or at least make it available. A cut-down version of
python, preferably with bindings to the Sugar GUI framework they are
developing, would be a Very Good Thing.

They're planning on manufacturing 100 million of these things!

Sounds like Sugar is built (partially) with Python.

Great Scott! I don't think this newsgroup can handle another 100 million newbies!
