Not to mention the not-all-that-occasional-anymore requests to have Python on various itty-bitty things like Palm Pilots and WinCE devices. It's one thing to add size to modules people can live without for many applications, but I think the posix module and its other platform-specific relations are fairly heavily used. (I realize this specific example isn't likely to apply to PP/WinCE.)

Or any version of Windows, I suspect; perhaps Mark Hammond can elaborate. Appearantly none of the pathconf() constants are defined on that platform, at least not as #define constants. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org> Corporation for National Research Initiatives
