Re: [Visualpython-users] History and Status?

It terms of concrete effort, I will be pursuing the extension to the
setup.py for VPython I did, so that it will be workable with Linux. Other
than my own learning curve to refamiliarize myself with certain Linux
issues, should not be a big deal.  As Bruce notes, the actual Linux setup.py
is essentially  already there - its really just a matter of testing for
platform and branching appropriately.

Should be able to get it to be basically functional, with the place of docs,
demso somewhere - as a draft - pending more discussion.

But the iterator thingy (technical term) issue is on my mind.

I am working with a recent Linux install, therefore gcc3.xx.

Am I correct in assuming that the fix to the CXX file needed to compile on
gcc > 3 does not break anything if compiling under a gcc < 3.  Which would
raise the question why it was there at all.  There is probably a way to test
for gcc version and fork accordingly, but I don't know if its necessary.

Anybody?
