Hm, maybe people could take responisbility for one or two modules and rewrite them in Python?
I think this is a good idea. Christians idea of automatically translating CPython source to python code sure makes sense. But there will be quite some modules which we have to manually code and the structmodule is certainly among them. regarding the automatic translation: At the last FOSDEM conference i talked to Richard Dale who wrote a tool (IIRC "Koala") which automatically generates 5 or 6 bindings for the KDE/QT-library directly from the C++ code, for Java, Objective C and others. Although he was very experienced it took him a year or so to get it going. But maybe "translating" CPython code is considerably simpler than this. Anyway, i think we can start from 'both sides'. Manually rewriting stuff in python and work on a C-to-Python translator. cheers, holger
