[nbpython] again, status of NetBeans Python support

["Dan Halbert" < >]

My impression is that NetBeans Python support has ceased essentially any kind 
of development or maintenance. The sources were moved to the NetBeans 
main/contrib repository in October. I looked at the Python-related 
changesets, and the last bugfix that was really directed toward Python was in 
August.

It seems that critical mass is gone. Tor Norbye has left Oracle. There were a 
few major outside developers but they appear to have moved on to other 
interests.

I think my own small group needs to start looking for another Python IDE. If 
anyone has any more optimistic information, I'd love to hear it.

Sadly,
Dan
