I'm posting here a PM from Truck, I think my reply could interest others developers, so... :
Quote:
First: YAY PYTHON YAY
Second: My French is horrid. I'm sorry. I could use Finnish but my Finnish is also horrid, and I doubt you speak Finnish (: So I'll have to ask that you put up with my English.
Third: There's a minor little bug in the interpreter - it doesn't quit (:
Ram Disk:ipython-0.10> python
Code:
Python 2.5.4 (r254:42, Nov 11 2009, 23:31:50)
[GCC 2.95.3 20050425 (release/emm-zapek-cisc)] on morphos
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> quit
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "LIBS:python2.5/site.py", line 248, in __repr__
return 'Use %s() or %s to exit' % (self.name, eof)
NameError: free variable 'eof' referenced before assignment in enclosing scope
>>> exit

You can exit the interpreter via, well, in my case, by clicking the MUICON: 'close' gadget. That sends a signal that it understands as 'quit.' I don't know why my control-c, d, e, and f don't work.
Now, on to my current attempt to get this to work - um, actually: what's the support for python eggs? Can we use easy-install?
If we can use eggs, I probably can just use the ipython egg, and I'll have ipython. (Which is my favorite interpreter. I love ipython, it just rocks for working with python, and I really, really want to have it on morphos (: )
If not, my attempts so far have been held up a bit by the fact that there isn't a fcntl import. That makes sense, in a way, because this isn't unix, and chances are it'll need to be something like the BSD bits where it's something in the os module. (this is file locking stuff, from what I'm reading.)
On the other hand, maybe I've got something entirely wrong in my setup (:
And should we discuss bugfixes/implementation of python stuff under morphos here, via email, or ... well I can't find it on your wiki, from the frontpage. I dunno why, 'search' produces nothing.
1) About the 'quit' issue: I've not seen that on r42 release. I'll check this evening.
2) About the MorphOS port in general: it's a native port, fully adapted to AmigaDOS/AmigaEXEC systems. So forget some *nix stuffs seens everywhere. Scripts have to be ported also to support AmigaOS/MorphOS system.
For example, to quit the interpretor: close the Shell Window or press [COMMAND-Q] on keyboard.
3) Python eggs: I've not yet made any tests about that, I've not any time to do it in futur. If you're -really- motivated to help me to increase Python support, let me know by PM.
4) About ipython: this interpretor is really *nix/win designed, need a native port to support it with my python port. So, same remark as in 3).
5) About bugfixes/implementations... At the end of Python page on my wiki, I give a link on my bugtracker and also on my email

And now... next project!
