I remember when snakebite was announced someone had the idea to have a kind of build bot go into pypi and get all packages sent to it and automatically compile them on snakebite for all major platforms and automatically run tests and submit the compiled packages to pypi. Is anyone working on this?
The biggest problem I see is security, but if people are really interested in this we could at least try it no?
Automatic testing in many python versions, conversion using 2to3 and building packages for windows and macosx seems like a very interesting service.

What I proposed was a autobuild for pytho packages on pypi not cpython builds. The system could certanly use your tool as a way to have many python versions, but in the end I think people would want packages built by cpython binaries distributed at python.org and third party distros (like ubuntu, mac os x, macports, etc). -- Leonardo Santagada santagada at gmail.com
