amigapython2.gif (3614 bytes)   The Future

The next release of Python will perhaps include one or more of the following:

  • interfaces to other Amiga libraries
  • GUI module for building python apps with a GUI
  • support for other networking packages like I-Net
  • inclusion in the ADE (this means: recompile with GCC...)
  • working "thread" and "signal" modules
  • your suggestions!

Some things I considered but are very complicated to achieve (because libraries can't share global data with the calling application directly):

  • Compiling Python as a shared library ("python.library")
  • Compiling the extension modules as shared libraries ("python_socket.library")
