When you say Can you run pycompile? Are you asking me (Geokimbo) or the
Samba/Ubuntu team?

If me then I guess I can, I haven't used python but I have been writing
code for >40 years so can obviously build executables in other
languages. I have plenty of virtual machine experience but no container
time but I'm guessing that as the container is the same OS as the host
it is straight forward. However I presume that your container exercise
was a proof of concept rather than part if a fix.

With some clear instructions as to what I'm compiling and where I'd find
it I'm sure I could recompile and test.

I've stayed away from fad languages but it annoys me that coders are not
thinking ahead and allowing for backward and forward compatibility when
they write code. With millions of lines of working code I wouldn't live
long enough to fix things if I had to go back and change hundreds of
subroutines because the I/O files had changed format which they do on an
all too regular basis. Wrappers and generic subroutine calls should be
part of what they build in from the start.

Cheers
Kim
