The first Python port aimed at a so-called "native" port but as I worked on it to import a newer version of Python, it became clear that Python's standard libraries, certainly as used by most Python applications, are so closely bound up with POSIX interfaces (eg, the exact components of the stat structure) that large chunks of APE were simply being replicated in Python, which seemed a bit pointless (and actually quite hard, as when emulating select).
