python1

This is my sloppy attempt at running Python 1 on a modern Linux system, compiled to 64 bit.
Just for fun - don't actually use this for anything serious!

Docker helps a lot in the process because the required build environment and libraries are so old.
It probably won't build natively on your system without heavy modifications.

Build and run

In the project's directory:

docker build -t python1 .

# Or pull a pre-built image:
docker pull ghcr.io/eden881/python1:1.6.1

Then run it with:

docker run --rm -it python1

# Or if you pulled the image:
docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/eden881/python1:1.6.1

You can check whether it's 32 or 64 bit like this:

import sys
print sys.maxint

sys.maxint was removed in Python 3, but in Python 1 it can be used to check the bitness:

• 2147483647 means 32 bit
• 9223372036854775807 means 64 bit
