Re: [Python-Dev] Tru64 support

2012/9/4 Andrew Svetlov andrew.svetlov@gmail.com:

I don't see Tru64 in list of available buildbots.

Nope, there is no Tru64 buildbot.

Do we need to care about this platform? And how to make sure what existing code works fine for that?

I don't know this OS. According to Wikipedia, it's a closed source OS which only runs on DEC Alpha CPU. It doesn't look to be maintained: only bugs are fixed since 2010.

Or maybe we can drop support for Tru64 as well as we already does it for, say, VMS?

See the PEP 11 for unsupported platforms. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0011/#no-longer-supported-platforms

"Name: VMS Unsupported in: Python 3.3 Code removed in: Python 3.4"
