 mostly by Trent Mick of ActiveState.  (Confusingly, ``sys.platform`` is still
 ``'win32'`` on Win64 because it seems that for ease of porting, MS Visual C++
 treats code as 32 bit on Itanium.) PythonWin also supports Windows CE; see the

-A long time ago I wrote a Web page (http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/warts.html)

-it's impossible to subclass Python types implemented in C.  In particular, it's
-not possible to subclass built-in types, so you can't just subclass, say, lists

 Python 2.2 fixes this, and in the process adds some exciting new capabilities.
