Re: [Prothon-user] Can Prothon use the Python standard library?

It would be great to have help with Prothon development.  Take a look at
Prothon.h and string.c and see if it makes any sense.  I'd be happy to
answer any questions (since there are no docs :).

If you can understand that stuff then there are a million things you could
do to help.
