[summerofcode] stdlib port to python

[Lorentz Morrow]

I'm interested in doing the port of stdlib to python.  If I'm understanding 
correctly you need a port of the following functions:
	atof, atoi, atol, ecvt, fcvt, itoa, ltoa, strtod, strtol, strtoul, ultoa,
	bsearch, lfind, lsearch, qsort, swab,
	abs, div, labs, ldiv
	calloc, free, malloc, realloc,
	abort, atexit, exit, getenv, putenv, system,

I don't see any problem with the first three lines of functions but I'm a 
little unsure about the last two.  Maybe I'm confused but wouldn't I need to 
have python make calls to the kernel to request memory allocation or process 
control? and won't that be OS specific?  Would it be sufficent to just write 
the port for one or two OSes?

If the person who posted this could suggestion could contact me with a little 
more specific information I would appreciate it.  Also, if I'm interpreting 
this SoC suggestion incorrectly would someone let me know.
