- Short: Amiga Python (cf perl, REXX)
- Author: Guido van Rossum (Amiga version: Geoff Fellows)
- The Amiga version of Python-1.3 is based on the POSIX version like M$ NT.
- You need SAS/C v6.5x. To make the executeable python.bin just use
- the SMake command.
-
- To test the binary file (python.bin), copy it into a suitable directory in
- your PATH as python, Assign Python: to directory containing the Python Lib
- directory and then type "smake test".
-
- These files needed modification:
- Include/allobjects, compile.h, modsupport.h, osdefs.h, traceback.h
- Modules/posixmodule.c(lots!), timemodule.c
- Python/getargs.c
-
- I made a SMakefile and SCOPTIONS file which you may want to adjust.
- The SMakefile adds the environment PYTHONUNBUFFERED otherwise the
- prompt comes after input.
-
- This a base version. It needs access to the Amiga Libraries. I tried
- to make a version that uses sockets through AmiTCP but had problems with
- a multiply-defined symbol: @__dostat.
