For whatever reason, this month I have had an average of two hits a day for the blog how-to procedure to download youTube videos from within the OS/2 operating system.

Back when I first posted it, Python required the EMX environment; hence the reason the procedure was somewhat involved so as to allow a relatively beginner to implement it.  Notwithstanding, Smedley's subsequent OS/2 Python ports --that only depend on a single LIBC063.DLL as opposed to the EMX runtime-- substantially decrease the number of steps to adequately provide the Python required environment to use youTube-dl on OS/2.

But, of course, youTube-dl is but one tiny application of the potential multiplicity enabled by the OS/2 Python port...

Smedley ...your OS/2 support is appreciated!

With a Native OS/2 port of python, would windows apps that rely in part or in whole upon python be more apt to run?

For instance, some many GUI Bittorrent clients, or a social networking and messaging/email tool developed by  a fellow student at my school (Digsby)?
