PyBOINC Work Continues
I am still working on PyBOINC (the embedded Python interpreter with support for BOINC). The actual integration (exposing the BOINC API to Python) was easy, it’s the cross-platform build that’s most difficult.
The problem is that when running an application on BOINC, you have no guarantee of what libraries will be available, so you must either distribute the libraries you need or compile them statically. I chose the later, which also caused lots of issues with the Python standard library. It’s mostly working now, with the exception of the sqlite module.
I moved the repo over to my bit bucket account since Nicolas is busy with other projects. The latest code can be found here.

How did you create your repo in bitbucket? It’s not showing as a “fork” of mine.
Yeah, I just pushed to my own account and realized after the fact that I should have officially forked it. I will try to update it so it’s shows as being forked.
Cool Thanks for your post. I am a newbie at python and this was a big help.
