[Donation Status] Re: Work on Python [NETBEANS-4538] - Licenses for Python Code

[Eric Bresie <eb...@gmail.com>]

Hate to keep bugging but...

Is there any status update on the final donations?

I had worked some on one portion of things for python and almost had it
ready (1) [late last year with draft PR with pending work to resolve
conflicting unrealized files] but held off on finalizing the work due to
the need for usage of the official donation version as opposed to to the
the hg repository and forked source that I leveraged previously while
working things.

Possible new implementation has also been discussed but have not started
anything on that.

Anything?

Eric
