Quoth "Michael Phipps" <michael.phipps@xxxxxxxxxxx>: | As far as python, I think that you need more facts (that I am quite sure | that Donn could provide): | | 1) How big would the package be? Talking in extremes, 10k for Python is a | "great deal". 100 mb is not. I am sure that it is somewhere in between. :) Right, I think more like 60-70 Mb. | 2) Last I knew, BeThon was in pretty good shape. That implied that Python | would be the only language that you could dev Haiku apps with for real. That's true (other than C++ of course), but I'm glad you remind me about that. I guess 8 years ago I would naturally have been very excited if Be wanted to bring Python and Bethon on board, but I would have expected that to include some engineering work, to make Bethon more complete and maintainable. Today, I suppose I have more opportunity to work on that myself, since I have access to Haiku internals that I lacked with BeOS - but honestly I'm not very motivated, as in the interim I have lost some of my earlier enthusiasm for Python as a BeOS or Haiku application platform. I'm sure willing to do maintenance and minor development on Bethon (at least, I could release changes for Haiku somewhere), but I don't think it's suitable for release as a system component in its present state and I wasn't planning on doing anything about that, myself. So I couldn't recommend that Bethon be included, and if that was the main attraction with Python ... Donn
