[HECnet] Hecnet Peering/Python

Absolutely Paul :-)
If I had any previous experience with that kind of coding I would at least gave a look. Seriously, it's not a one man job, right?
Anyway , it was a nice idea..
So if there's a spare decbrouter 90 around I'm willing to try that.

Paul,
the latest supported VMS versions for Python are 2.7.8 for Alpha and 2.7.9
for Itanium.
Which kind of kills the experiment, right? :(

Pretty much. It would be possible to port the code back to that version, but it would be a fair amount of work and not something I   d be interested in. I prefer Python 3 for new projects for a number of reasons; some of those affect pydecnet significantly.

I suppose you could see what   s involved in building Python 3.3 on VMS? :-)
