Thank you for this trip back in time. Also, I'm curious about podman. A former colleague tried to sold it to me a few years ago, but I was like... I already have docker, why should I bother with another one?
I'd be interested to read your presentation of podman and how it compares to docker.
However, in version 0.9.1, it works the opposite way—you must include `()`; otherwise, it won’t work. Additionally, `import os` might not work unless you run `make libinstall`.

I also compiled version 1.0 (as well as 0.9 and other 1.x branches). You can find my results at https://github.com/yakimka/ancient_python
Version 1.0.1, like 0.9.1, supports classes, but you should not include parentheses `()` in the class definition.

>>> class Foo:
... pass

```

I even ported some modern code to Python 1.6 and 1.0 just for fun 😊. You can check it out here: https://gist.github.com/yakimka/2b0bb1581553bbf625aeef2fc8c5fa6d
Ohhhh, nice catch. Thanks.
A pyodide version of that would be so fun, so people can visit the museum directly online.

Yeah, I was thinking about it too, but I didn’t have enough time to do it 😀

LOL! Boy, does that bring back some memories. I don't think I've ever experienced this problem using (modern) Python.
A very fun read. Thanks for the effort.
Next time people say they miss when python was simple, we should direct them there. Good old days and all that.
