I'm with Martin. In these days of distributed version control systems, I would think that the effort for the Haiku folks to maintain a branch of Python in their own version control would be minimal. It is likely that for each new Python version that comes out, initially it is broken on Haiku, and then they have to go in and fix it. Last time I looked at Haiku and dabbled with it there were some people actively working on POSIX compliance. My only guess right now is that this work is largely complete. In effect that would mean that Python would work out of the box, more or less. So the cost of adding and maintaining it in the main repository should not be a big overhaul or anything. Just as a FYI. :)

Did you look at the patch they submitted? http://bugs.python.org/issue4933
