    I was wondering if there is still a community effort to develop Python
    for Linux distributions for the Sony Playstation 3?? I have found a few
    WebPages stating this effort to port Python in such a way to take
    advantage of the Cell architecture within the playstation? However, all
    of these WebPages are severely dated back as far as 2005-2006, with
    absolutely no additional activity since that time. I believe these
    WebPages are now abandoned. Is there any interest within the Python
    development team to port the Python language to the cell processor?? If
    not, I could try!! Anyone else interested in developing the playstation
    3 into a powerful supercomputer for the common individual??? I am also
    interested in developing clusters of playstations for HPC by taking
    advantage of Python's support for RPC and MPI!
    2.6/3.0 have a new multiprocessing package with an interface more or
    less identical to the threading module. The purpose, obviously, is
    enable easy movement from t. to mp. to take advantage of multiprocessor
    machine. So this seems a timely idea. But I don't have a Playstation
    -- yet.

    less than the last time I looked -- eeks! Now _I_ want one!
