hi i noticed when i went ot python.org there is a python port for amiga and a python port for AROS, what about morphos!?!?! python is a must have.

wow no one agrees? i find that kinda shocking

Poundsmack, official morphzone thread creator

thats me! do i win an award. someone has to keep the conversation going might as well be me.

yep. I totally agree. Python would be an interresting addition. Is there Perl available for the amiga? If yes , then both Python and Perl should be brought over to MOS!

i think there is a perl port ot amiga. but i am not sure.
found it. here is the link. http://aminet.net/aminet/aminet.cgi?string=perl

I'm in complete agreement here.
It's not a language I've ever actually used myself but it looks like Perl in English.

I've done plenty of Perl and I like it but there is something of a learning curve to put it mildly. I know one guy who one described perl as a "write only" language!

Python allows you to do a lot of the same stuff but looks a *lot* easier.

What's wrong with the existing port of perl?

we syill need python

With native MorphOS Python, we would get back lots of linux' python developpers

poundsmack: thats cause we're waiting on you to port it.

haha.....got to save up enough money to get my peg first hehe

What about this port?

I m trying it ATM

http://wikipeg.free.fr/wikini/wakka.php?wiki=Python

;)

It's working, but I can not import some libraries that are supposed to
be built-in... such as "os"

Code:

There goes my attempt to try porting "portage" ;)

Maybe next time :p (tomorrow with the next release, 5c?)

A new version of Python MorphOS will come soon.
If you read french, take a look here : Official thread on AmigaImpact.org

The 5c is almost there....

5b seems to work well on my Peg1 (but I didn't try it much).

In fact I wait Yomgui's "green light" to upload it on Python's WikiPeg page (http://wikipeg.free.fr/wikini/wakka.php?wiki=Python).

If think it should be available in a couple of days.

Lugduweb (WikiPeg webmaster)...

Anyway : anyone interested by this project can send an email to Yomgui to be beta tester.

That is great news. If we get a Python port to MOS then someone would be able to do a NATIVE FREEVO port

magnetic

Yomgui is working on it for a very long time to make a as perfect as possible port of it, in fact not only a port, but a library that could be used, for exemple to make a Blender port .

I can't discuss about it since I'm not a programmer, but I'm sure the result will be great .

Hello,

So, as you know, I've ported Python-2.4 on Morphos. There is 2 links on this page to know more things about it. But it's in French so for my English friends, I'm going to explain you more details here in this langage:

- My port has starded in August 2004.
- It's a NATIVE port => no ixemul. I've recoded many functions of libc !!
- Morphos version is the first one to be a shared library on all "Amiga compatibles".
- It's not last good thing: You 'import' dynamiques C modules ! and there will be a SDK to create your own module (easy, as described in official Python documentations).

Some guys have a private archive (as lugduweb or henes) to play a bit with it. So, it's not a vapor-ware

It's time to have great applications on Morphos !

PS: Versions 4.x on the wiki works, but you must put the content of Lib/ into LIBS:python2.4, or run the binary on the root of sources (Python-2.4/) path, or you can't do things like "import os".
Check this with Snoopdos...

Regards,
Yomgui

For questions about Python, mail to this address:
support [dot] python4morphos {AT} gmail |DOT| com

Ok, I'll do my best to release something for the next Monday (20050502).

My current code seems to be able to load dynamique modules (Python C modules are seen by the system as shared libraries, named '.pylib'). But I need to do some tests before release.

\o/

@Yomgui

you need some kind of gold medal now seriously thanks for taking the time and making this port it will help out the community greatly
