We already have such buildbots, they are in the "unstable" category. You can browse through existing buildbots here: https://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/ In the case of MirOS, though, I'm unsure core developers would proactively fix failures on such a niche platform :-) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
