python port

hi!

if i am porting an existing python package to a different environment and
the package uses some C code, would the port only involve recompiling it
under the new envionment. for pocket pc's would recompiling using embedded
Visual c++ with the pocket pc sdk be enough?
or is there more to it?
thanks
cheers

Depends your code - simple stuff might work, but systemcalls and the like
may behave differently or not exist at all.

I am writing programs that will run as TCP servers. Briefly, I want to set up a TCP server on a port in such a way that if another server is already sitting on that port (both servers are Python programs I will be writing), the old one is booted off (and its process ended). My master process is a test harness, which tests a script which as...
