Currently, Snakebite features 37 servers talking to each other via a single domain. "It's going to be the epitome of a heterogeneous network," said Nelson.

Snakebite's overseers are looking to open up the network to all things Python and more. Implementations of Python will be supported including CPython, Jython, PyPy, IronPython, and stack-less Python. Developers on these projects will have full access to Snakebite.

Also sought for Snakebite are support for open source projects like the Apache Web server and MySQL and Postgres databases.
