Who is the one interested in maintaining the BeOS port? the last checkins related to BeOS seem to originate from the 2001/2002 period.

yellowTAB includes Python 2.4 as part of their ZETA OS which, as Marc-André notes is a further development of BeOS. Francois Revol has done the work to keep Python up to date and working with the existing maintainer, Donn Cave, on this.

It's a much more solid release than all previous versions with much greater support for Python extensions. Even Zope runs with only one slight change as flock() is not yet supported.
