Python 2.1 compiles out-of-the-box on BeOS (5), there are also
binary-releases available @ http://www.bebits.com
one is bundled with Bethon (a GUI modul for BeOS, wrapper for the native C++
calls, which i found not that usefull as it is not thread-safe) and one
comes with the Pygame module (a wrapper to SDL).

Python runs stable and fine for me, but somewhat limited (IMHO). there is no
really 'working' GUI module what is really annoying, and i tried several
times to get the python modules for PostgreSQL and curses to work, but no
luck so far :((
