[Python-Dev] Python Support on OpenVMS
Hi Folks, I am Sandeep Mathew from OpenVMS engineering in Hewlett-Packard. I have worked on various components of the OpenVMS operating system including MONITOR, TDF, EXEC, LIBRTL, DCL and SYSMAN. I happened to read this blog post about dropping OpenVMS support for further releases of python here: http://blog.python.org/2011/05/python-33-to-drop-support-for-os2.html. I am willing to spend time and effort to ensure that python remains supported on OpenVMS. Please let me know what needs to be done for continued OpenVMS Support in Python. Looking forward to working with the Python community.

Re: [Python-Dev] Python Support on OpenVMS
Hi All, Thanks for your responses!. First thing on my radar is to get buildbot working on OpenVMS. I had a quick glance at source, although buildbot is written purely in python it has many platform specific issues. See: https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/blob/master/master/README.w32 However I am guessing that it may not be very difficult to resolve. I will concentrating on Itanium systems initially and will later port it to Alpha in a similar way. I have requested for an account in HP's OpenVMS cluster meant for open source development. I will kick off my work after the account has been activated!
