<oriansj>stikonas: absolutely right; although they never seem to go to the trouble of optimizing the binary by building from source. *fossy has found a bootstrap path for Python <fossy>it starts at 2.4.x, so not stupidly old <fossy>that is the first version that does not use python to build the python interpreter <fossy>(it uses python to generate some of the stdlib though) <Hagfish>2.4 is definitely a modern-ish version, that's a great find <Hagfish>i don't know how the stdlib problem will affect things ***ChanServ sets mode: +o janneke
<fossy>I think we can just use parts of the stdlib and the interpreter to rebuild the other parts of the stdlib <Hagfish>it sounds like a sort of self-assembling jigsaw. almost a living organism <Hagfish>well, i guess it is called "Python" :)
