That isn't sufficient reason to post to python-dev, though. > Is HP-UX Itanium a supported platform at all? Python does not have a single supported platform (*), so: no. (*) in the sense that anybody is providing "support" for it, ie. guarantees help in case somebody has problems. (**) HP-UX is not a platform that any of the regular Python contributors uses or tests on at a regular basis. Python contributors mostly use Linux, Windows, and OS X; some also use Solaris and *BSD. > And if it does work, which steps need to be taken to build it, > e.g. other libraries/packages, environment variables, > configure options, manual modifications? This really is out of scope for python-dev. In scope would be a proposal to apply a certain patch that you had to write Python work on HP-UX, and discussion whether this patch is the appropriate solution. Regards, Martin (**) There is, of course, ActiveState, which does provide binaries, including for HP-UX, so I suppose they support it - at least if you buy commercial support. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
