So we're looking for a CVS servlet. Basically, we want to be able to browse a local CVS repository over a web server. "Aha!", you'll say, "just use ViewCVS!" There's one problem though: it has to run on IBM's WebSphere, and AFAIK that doesn't support Python. Moreover, I've never tried to run Python on any sort of web server, so I have no idea where to start.

"Aha!", you'll say again, "let's google it!". Yes, thank you. This gave me 2 projects: jCVS and Alexandria. Both of them seem to be a little dead. I actually tried to install jCVS, but it left me with the feeling that it would only run on un*x. Alexandria, I didn't even bother, given the big red warning box on its front page.

I only see a few options left:

• Figure out a way to run Python on WebSphere
• Figure out a way to run Python scripts inside a servlet
• Write my own application (hopefully I can find at least a Java-based CVS client engine somewhere)
• Beg you for your knowledge and help. That's actually the one that I like best. Have you done something similar? Are there ways that I don't see (yet)? I would very much appreciate your comments.
