<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I have a set of patches I've developed based on the 2.7 branch that provides a working port of Python 2.7.5 to Plan 9 386 and amd64 builds (an arm version is mostly working, but will need a few more updates before being hauled off on the wagon). Most of the changes, including mkfiles, are local to a Plan9 subdirectory. There are a few changes to Lib/*.py files specifically site.py and sysconfig.py to make living in a semi-POSIX world tolerable with many current Python modules.<br>
<br>
Because Plan 9 does not have shared libraries, we must link in all the C modules we want at build time. This means that I've included specific targets to pull in Mercurial sources during the compilation and linking phases. That brings us up to a current version of Mercurial 2.6.2. There is no ssh support for cloning, but we do have a viable version of https: using TLS/SSLv3 that has worked well with bitbucket. That said, I can prepare a patch from my mq work area and submit it upstream in one of various ways for review.<br>

That being said, if any of the changes are reasonable in general feel free to submit patches at <a href="http://bugs.python.org">bugs.python.org</a>.</div>

Is there a preferred method that does not require an initial `hg clone ssh://<a href="http://hg@hg.python.org/cpython`" target="_blank">hg@hg.python.org/cpython`</a>?<br>
