There was a recent posting to Python-L about a Python implementation
of Linda (called Brenda) for Unix with sources. Not knowing anything
about Linda, I cannot pass on its adequacy or completeness. It can
be found at:
http://www.snurgle.org/~pybrenda/
Though I have not looked at this one, my experience is that python
modules can often be munged into Squeak plugins fairly easily. At
least it will give you a useful base of sources from which to begin.
