About

Python OS Project (POP) created with idea to make a pure python OS. POP based on linux kernel (currently 2.6.32) and GNU userland utilities. A lot of utilities are already written, including base soft, like:

• Terminal emulator (POPemu)
• ls, ps, rm, cp, rmdir, mkdir, clear, cat, tail, bzcat, zcat, cmp, mv, wget, top, etc.
• Installer (Python+some utilities in C)
• mplayer frontend
• mpd and moc frontends
• Filemanager
• Web-server (based on http://cherrypy.org/) (POPweb)
• Jabber and ICQ client (POPim)
• Simple raster graphics editor
• PDF, djvu viewer
• Python games
• and many others

We think, that OS, written in simple interpreted language, like python, allows us to dominate desktop operating systems market.

Third-party tools (Python)

• Wm - qtile
• Image viewer
• BitTorrent client
• Mercurial
• Text editor
• Database
• Other widely used python software, such as mirage, gajim, etc.

ToDo:

• Web browser
• Office - DONE (In beta version)
• X-server
• Linux Kernel
• Dominate desktop OS market!

We are looking for:

• Python coders, testers.
• Hardware for POP repositories
