    windows is a precompiled problem that do not need python :)

    there is good tools donw in python for fidonet, but some of them dies when   
   python versions is upgraded, this force python to not be upgraded to keep it   
   running, sadly this is where i am.... gentoo

   i had a partly fidobbs with nearly all i sql, beginned make php code to the   
   sql, after the developper got it from my UMS amiga system he admit linux could   
   not handle it, basicly thunderbird for everyting, including fidonet :)   
      
    MK> What do you use python for?   
      
   all, gentoo needs python, there is no gentoo without python   
      
   its a mess for me right now
