Compatibility (Non-Unix Systems)

Because Pyrite is written mostly in Python, it is possible that it may be portable to systems outside the Unix environment. Generally, if a platform is capable of hosting a Python interpreter, it ought to be capable of hosting Pyrite. The pilot-link library might be a bit more work, but it too is written in relatively plain C which might work outside of Unix.

If you are interested in porting Pyrite to a non-Unix platform, please get in touch with me and I will help in any way I can. You will need a Python interpreter and whatever development tools are required to compile it (on Windows, for example, this probably means Visual C++), and you will need to be familiar with the process of building Python extensions on your platform. If pilot-link is not available for your platform, you will also need some familiarity with programming serial communication applications on your system.
