manpower to maintain the platforms as "Python supported"?


You can ask me as far as Sun goes.   There are probably a variety of  
options:


1) Get the open source version of VirtualBox and use it to run a  
virtualized OpenSolaris

2) I can see if we can get folks access to a box running Solaris
3) I can ask and see if there are people at Sun who would be willing  
to jump in and help

We actually have a couple of Solaris buildbots already - as I  
understand it, the issue there isn't Solaris as such, it's being  
able to use the Sun compiler instead of GCC to compile ctypes/libffi.


Does that mean that we need access to the Sun compiler or that the Sun  
compiler has bugs which prevent ctypes from compiling?

That's an excellent idea.  We could have a webpage, or start a
topic-specific weblog for posting announcements.

I've started a draft of a 3.0 FAQ in the wiki at
.  Once it's finished we
can move it into the 3.0 release pages.  Everyone please edit and
improve it!


It occurs to me that this specific idea (the box with the list of  
supported applications / libraries) should be implementable as a  
simple query against PyPI.  I don't know if it actually is :), but  
it should be.  In general it would be nice to know whether one's  
favorite tools were available for *any* new Python version.


I agree with this.   Plus it might act as an incentive for people to  
port libraries faster...
