My experiment, Cleese, was making progress before I got distracted by other things.
The approach was a micro-kernel in C made up of the CPython bytecode interpreter with the file-related calls to libc ripped out and some bare-metal port read/writes and memory operations exposed to Python as built-in functions. Everything else could then be written in pure Python. Dave Long was able to write a VGA driver in Python and an implementation of Sokoban that used it. You could then boot your machine to Sokoban :-) I should probably get back to it at some stage. see http://cleese.sourceforge.net/ James Tauber http://jtauber.com/blog/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
