Thanks for getting this rolling Toshio.  I've sent an email to the
debian-python list to inform them of python-porting and the wiki page.  I'll
be really happy if we can rally the cross-distro troops to this important
effort.

Does anybody have connections to other communities of Linux distro developers
or even other OS developers?  If so, please invite them to this mailing list
and point them at the wiki page.

Cheers,
-Barry

P.S. We should definitely have a talk at Pycon about these efforts.  Who wants
to (co-)give a talk?
