mercurial on VMS

Hi,
 I am a newbie on this list. I am working on getting hg (mercurial)
work on OpenVMS. Python 2.5.0 is available on VMS but lacks the
os.fork() implementation. I am also seeing issues in os.stat() that is
used in locking. I am working on it to make the underlying Python work
so that I do not have to touch the hg sources.
 I just thought of introducing myself as I see a real need to make it
work on yet another platform, VMS. I am a starter in Python and hence
will be taking a real long time to get productive. I know a few other
programming languages which makes it a little easier to learn Python.

with best regards,
dk
