PyAROS 0.1 [2.2.1] released

[Tjodden]

The first public release of PyAROS is now available for download at http://pyaros.sourceforge.net/.

PyAROS is a port of Python to AROS, based on Python 2.2.1 and the Amiga Python port (which is no longer maintained).

[Tjodden]

No, it's not a matter of simply recompiling. The reason for this is that the AROS clib is much better (more compatible) than the one available with SAS/C (don't know about other compilers) so the AmigaOS version would require writing some compatability functions.

Also, I don't use AmigaOS very much anymore, so it's not a priority for me. If more people would be interested in an AmigaOS version, I might try to port it...

[reboot] doesnt do anything

It doesn't under AROS/i386-linux, because ColdReboot() isn't implemented in that port (it doesn't make sense anyway). It *does* do somthing under AROS/i386-pc.

[iprefs] doesnt do anything

Yes it does. It sets the preferences (font, input, locale etc) during boot. It's not a command you use for anything else.

I mounted a golf.adf (thanx lechuck) as Unit0 under AFD0:
cd over to AFD0:
all looks well
type golf
nada

Not suprising since the executable most likely is for Amiga, right? You cannot run m68k binaries under x86, period. AROS doesn't have an integrated emulator.
