People don't make Python OSs because it's a serious pain in the Deng-Xiao-ping. J/k, I am half kidding. Go to google groups, and search for Python OS. You will find that this topic has been discussed numerous times. There was another project other than Unununium which was Python based, but it is not being developed any longer and I fail to remember what it was called. So search away, you will find many results! Alternatively you could contact the Unununium folks for help.Hello. I recently came across a free operating system called Unununium (or something like that) and it was developed in Python and Assembly.
Now, I have been looking for a way to make an operating system for a long long time and the only possibilities I could find were C++ and assembly. I don't mind assembly so much if I don't have to use it very often. But C++ is so complicated and errors are pretty much impossible to find in the code for me.
So, I was wondering if it would be possible to find a bootloader that loads a python file at startup or something...
Is there an example somewhere of a Python OS?
Thanks!
Note also that there are Java OSs as well (and probably others). But then again, if you don't like C++, you probably won't like Java. They can be very different languages, but in my experience, the reasons why one does not like C++ is usually due to a quality/flaw that can also be found in Java.
