Hi,
Python contains code specific to OS/2 (eg. see Modules/posixmodule.c). I read in Wikipedia that IBM has discontinued OS/2 support in 2005. Do we still support OS/2 or not?
I'm asking because I'm working on a patch modifying OS2 specific code, but I'm unable to compile nor test my changes. And on IRC we told me that nobody knows/uses OS/2.
If we support OS/2, we need a buildbot.
My patch: http://bugs.python.org/issue8391 (os.execvpe() doesn't support surrogates in env).
