Their is a quite good tutorial that you could get an overview quite easily
from.

Did you actually read the news release explaining this action?  Please get
the facts before judging.

Tim Peters and Guido both disagree with you.  They have both told me to
post here and keep the community informed of my work.  They consider
Prothon a "sandbox" that Python can learn from.

I'm sorry, how did I embarrass you and what did I misspell?

Prothon and PyCs are discussed heavily on other forums.  Dicussion here is
rare.

Exactly what are you accomplishing with this flame?  It seems to me that
you are just showing your ignorance about Prothon and it's relationship to
the Python community.
