Hello!

   http://lwn.net/2001/0816/devel.php3

   "The PLEAC project plans to reimplement all of the programs from the
Perl Cookbook in a variety of other languages. The Perl Cookbook is
published by O'Reilly and was written by Perl heavyweights Tom Christiansen
& Nathan Torkington.

"If successful, this project may become a primary resource for quick,
handy, and free solutions to most common programming problems using
higher-level programming languages. It could also be useful for comparison
on ease-of-use and power/efficiency of these languages."

PLEAC stands for "Programming Language Examples Alike Cookbook". The
current list of supported languages includes Perl, Merd, Ruby, Haskell,
Python, Masd, and Nasm. The Merd and Ruby implementations are both about
25% finished. Python, Haskell, and the assembly languages are trailing at
below 10% completion. The project maintainer is seeking help for the
implementation of solutions in ocaml, scheme, tcl, and C++/stl.

Despite the incomplete status, PLEAC already has many useful examples for
the various languages. As it fills out, PLEAC should become a very handy
resource for programmers who need to reinvent the wheel, a common task
indeed."

* python, 6.00% done

   Anyone willing to help/contribute?

Oleg.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
