I happened to try a vanilla generation of 2.3.3 under HP-UX 10.20 yesterday, and encountered multiple non-trivial faults (curses, threading, ...). Experience tells me I'd find roughly the same level of problems with other releases of Python and HP-UX.

I think newer versions of HPUX are a little better. Since most of the HPUX resources available (snake-farm and HP Test Drive machines) tend to be 11.x+. But very few have access to HPUX, Irix, or AIX.

Who are the folks with an HP-UX interest?

I wouldn't say I have an interest in HPUX beyond the fact that I'd like to see it work and have access to some boxes. :-) I can try to make some time available to help.

2. Does anyone happen to have an executable built that can "import Tkinter"? That's my most immediate need. If you can share that with me, it'd help my own situation, and I'll continue to push for corrections in the standard distribution, anyway.

If so it would probably be for HPUX 11.something.
