The above files have been uploaded to the Hobbes OS/2 Software Archive, and should be in the /pub/os2/dev/python directory. Failing that, check the Hobbes incoming directory. Downloading from Hobbes is likely to be faster, particularly if you're not in Australia.
Ted Sikora has Zope 2.6.4 up and running on OS/2! You can get info and installation
packages from his Zope on OS/2 page.
I'm also told that Plone 2.0 has been
been brought up!
BitTorrent appears to be usable. The Python
2.3.[234] port supports both the "headless" (btdownloadheadless.py) and curses
(btdownloadcurses.py) downloaders; earlier port releases don't support the curses
downloader due to a packaging/installation bug involving the curses.panel module.
NOTE:I have received advice that the previously reported traps
experienced with BitTorrent are TCP/IP v4.3 problems, which may be resolved
with the application of fixes IC35005 and PJ29457 (contained in the
NEWSTACK.ZIP archive available from the Hobbes archive).
[UPDATE 4/4/05] There appears also to be evidence that the eCS TCP/IP tuning utility
turns on SACK, which appears to cause the TCP/IP stack indigestion. This
can be deactivated by editing INETCFG.INI - see
this article
for more information.
In an attempt to try and narrow down the possible causes of the residual
BitTorrent problems, I have built experimental versions of the _socket and
select extension modules which directly call the TPC/IP v4.3 API
instead of using EMX's BSD socket abstraction over the TCP/IP v4.0 API.
This package has not been heavily tested, and is not recommended for use
with any other Python application than BitTorrent.
I'm hoping to add more binary distributions of Python extensions for the 2.3 port over time.
NOTE: I am no longer in a position to support any of my OS/2 ports or software. The software packages will stay available from this site for the time being but will be removed at some point in the future. 19Jan2017
The Python 2.4 port is here (v2.4 released 30 November, 2004).
Other software I've released can be found here.
Most credit has to go to the porters of older releases of Python: Jeff Rush (v1.5.2 and earlier - IBM Visual Age C++ compiler) and Andrew Zabolotny (v1.5.2 - EMX+gcc). Without their efforts, I wouldn't have released anything.
