[PythonCE] sys.platform strangeness

[Telion]

Hi Brian,

Thank you for reporting.

It shows as "wince" because sys.platform is internally 
defined from C header file, Pycnfig.h, and python22.dll
in my CAB distro is made with "wince".

You can simply add sys.platform = "Pocket PC" or whatever
it pleases you in site.py provided by CAB .
(It can be found in the same directory as .dll and .exe)

My version of pcceshell.py --- that is supposed to work for 
both PPC and HPC --- distinguishs the platform using sys.platform.
So, if you use CAB distro and My version of pcceshell.py,
you should add " sys.platform == 'Pocket PC' " in the site.py.

I will add these info on our Wiki, as well as incorporate it
into the next release.


By the way, I am still willing, and planing to make a new release
that should work for both PPC and HPC.

Also, I gained a little more knowledge that CE2.11 version


I have not done them because I was busy, and I have been porting
and playing with CE version of Wikiserver and LCC C ompiler,
and a few other stuff.
