ant

Is it installed ? If not, will it be ?

Potentially, we can install almost anything we think people will find useful... I don't know much about ant though, isn't it some kind of Java tool? What would you use it for on PythonAnywhere?

ant is an open-source apache-hosted java-based make utility. I am trying to rebuild an open-source project that doesn't come with a make file, but with an ant-flavored equivalent (build.xml). I did a new build script, so this is not blocking at all, but I could have just typed " $ ant build" in the console. And ant is used in quite a few open-source projects projects.

All sounds fair enough! I'll add it to our to-do list...
