The attach file contains the patches of the Core files necessary to build Python for OpenVMS.
All the patches used conditional compilation test on __VMS, so I may not  be disruptive for the initial 
code.

11 files have been updated:

Python/exceptions.c
Python/import.c
Modules/getbuildinfo.c
Modules/getpatch.c
Modules/main.c
Modules/posixmodule.c
Modules/pwdmodule.c

I have a number of comments and questions:

- What is the purpose of VMSerror? It appears to be unused.
Can you use just OSError instead? If not, it should be VMSError.

- There are various formatting problems (indentation, spaces
after function names).

- Is it really necessary to compute the link time?

- Why do you need psxmod_gat_psxpath? Copying into
psxmod_gt_psxpath appears to do the same thing?

- what is the purpose of psxmod_to_vms_action?

Comment seem to be missing.

VMSerror is used by many specifics module which I have not currently provide.
I have correct the typo  VMSerror --> VMSError

formatting problem:
Well, this is the formatting used by Uwe Zessin (and mostly generate by the editor LSE) who has done the initial 
port.
I have not check/update his code because I did'nt know it is required, I have just found the "Style Guide for C 
Code".
I have now update the code, only the VMS part ;-)

Compute of the link time:
Really necessary, sure it is not. But, IMHO, it is more useful to have the link time than the compile time of one 
source file.
What is the problem?


psxmod_gat_psxpath, psxmod_to_vms_action:
You are right.
During the cleaning process of the code of Uwe  (I have remove some part), I have missed this optimisation and to 
remove the, then,  unused routine psxmod_to_vms.
Done, thanks.

I have attach a new version: vms01.diff

Tell me if you find other problem into this version.

Thanks for your help.
