Actually, I've been thinking about how to make Python Carbon-based so it runs on MacOS X (until then it's just not "ready for prime time"), and which time this hsould be a lot easier :-)
That would be mega-cool. MacOS X Server would probably be excellent for Zope. MacOS X is still a ways off. :( However, it would be nice to have something available for development purposes.
I've got Python working (as well as Zope) on my NeXT cube at home, but it's running a slightly old release of OpenStep... also, it's 68K v. PPC. If someone has a MacOS X Server box they wanna loan me ;-) I just can't justify being on the developer program right now to get free copies, and the retail cost is a bit high for my home use :-) Plus I don't have a PowerMac it can run on (I have a hopped up 8100 w/G3).
I'm sure it's sarcasm on Paul's part ;-) Of course there's no os.system() function... there's no "command line" to pass it to :-)
You're right. I imagine he was. :) I wasn't thinking anyway. Looking at os.py doesn't include all of the attributes available. Doing dir(os) was what I meant to do. :)
There has been talk, however, of making Python OSA-aware so that it can be used as THE scripting language on MacOS... but I've held off on doing anything about this until I better understand the scripting architecture of MacOS X---as there's talk that WebObjects will also plug in, which might necessitate major changes.
