Hi, I'm releasing a 2.7.x python fork with a makefile based build: this removes the need for the autoconfigure/setup.py actual toolchain simplifying the whole build process. An additional advantage is the ability to cross compile (linux/macos and android) the python interpreter and most of the binary modules (still missing readline and ssl modules). Project is hosted at: https://bitbucket.org/cavallo71/android Long term goal is replacing the distutil module and making the python easily embeddable. Thanks Antonio
