[PythonCE] PythonCE Digest, Vol 51, Issue 2

Tue Oct 9 18:15:25 CEST 2007

Christopher,

I'm on a Sprint PPC-6700 (HTC Apache) and would like to start running
pyce again. I'm not much of a coder but this gives me more opportunity
to dink around.

I'll start with the build for PPC and see where I get.

Thanks to all the contributers that put programming literally within reach.

Duane
