I think we did have some Python packages last year.  Around February,
we switched to a glibc that was built with versioning, so all the
packages needed to be purged and rebuilt.

I've been concentrating on gcc/binutils/glibc mostly.  It would be
nice to have Python again though.  I'm not sure if there are any
problems building Python on ARM at this time - I haven't needed it for
what I'm doing, so I never tried.

Cheers,
