I've been asked to help getting Rendevous (AKA zeroconf I believe) bindings for Python implemented. Anyone interested in helping out? (The person to contact if you're interested is Daniel Steinberg. Please cc me on the initial emails so I know contact is being made.

Hey Guido,

Here's the description of the task from my friend Daniel Steinberg

(CC'd here) at O'Reilly. I understand that you don't have time to do the work yourself, but I'm hopeful that you know of someone who would.

Apple has just provided a daemon for Rendezvous for Mac, for Windows, for Linux, and for UNIX. Rich Kilmer spent an afternoon with Stuart Cheshire and wrote Ruby bindings for this daemon and so Ruby developers can easily Rendezvous enable their application. There are also Parrot and Perl bindings on the way. The question was whether someone had an afternoon free to spend with Stuart to write the Python bindings. Stuart is not a Python expert but he is good at teaming up with someone who is to help them see what hooks are needed.

Thanks, Joey
