I don't have any particular interest in BeOS variants, but this comes as 
a surprise given that http://python.org/about/ proclaims that "Python 
runs everywhere."

Maybe Haiku could become a supported platform instead of more or less 
defunct BeOS?  As far as I can tell there is no current BeOS port 
maintainer, but there is some crud left over from the better times.  If 
Haiku community can step in and clean up BeOS crud by either removing it 
or making sure it works on modern BeOS variants, this can only be a good 
thing.
