Python on HP-UX
Hi,

I'm trying to get Python 1.52 going on HP-UX 10.20. I put the source
on, compiled, and found out about the ansi-c issue. I tried to continue
after taking out pcre support per a post I found from Guido, but it then
stalled on "posixmodule.c, line 666: error 1705: Function prototypes are
an ANSI feature.". I'm guessing that I shouldn't force it further.

I then put gcc on, learned about depot files and swinstall, and...
swinstall's either not on the machine, or not in my path! Is there a
way to get around this, or might binary executables be available
somewhere someone could point me to? I'd like to continue this
week-end, and not have to wait for the sysadmin to return on Tuesday.

I don't know anything about HP-UX or its versioning scheme,
but there are a couple of HP-UX builds listed on mxCGIPython.

If one of them works, then you'll at least be able to start
working with Python until your Sys Admin comes back.
