According to Irmen de Jong, the AmigaPython website maintainer, the Python programming language may be included as standard with AmigaOS 4.0.
From the AmigaPython site:
UPDATE november 2002: from very reliable sources I know that AmigaPython might become part of the new Amiga OS 4.0 ! What AREXX was for AmigaDOS 2.x and 3.x, AmigaPython might be for the next generation of Amiga OS (and much more powerful of course)
Further information about Python is available at the Python Home Page.

AmigaOS 4.0 to include Python? : Comment 71 of 94 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christophe Decanini on 25-Nov-2002 18:49 GMT | In reply to Comment 70 (Bill Hoggett): "I guess that would be a question for Ben or Amiga Inc, but unless the license was revoked prior to Amiga Inc's purchase from Gateway, I don't see how Commodore's alleged transgressions would affect the rights of either AI or Hyperion."
Well, I don't think either Ben or AmigaInc will say that they do not have the right to distribute it as it is obvious they did it before without paying attention to the AREXX guy that did not get any royalties.
For the contract to stand, the amount of money stipuled into it (if any) should have been payed way back. Now if the Arexx author does not care about arexx being freely distributed ...
What if Thendic decide to include it now ? Maybe they can even pay the Arexx author if he is still alive :)
A few years ago when there was an effort to have AmigaOS opensource the answer was that it was a legal nightmare as parts of the AmigaOS where third parties. I wonder how much code is still in this situation. Hopefully not a lot. |
