Platform [OS, libraries, etc.]:

    Linux  3.2.0-60-generic #91-Ubuntu SMP <...>  x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    
    python3 --version
        Python 3.2.3

Skill level (at least the following; tell us if you have a paper-specific skill):
    I can build complex software like GCC and the Linux kernel

Sequence of steps to build:

    1. Cloned Revision fe8ee75335e4b0c8a56547e1bbd4dbb85c8d501f from https://github.com/sadboy/DistAlgo
    2. Compile and run an example file: 

        python3 -m distalgo.compiler examples/ping.da
        Written compiled file examples/ping.py.
        
        Total compilation time: 0.017072 second(s).

Notes: 

- Appears to *require* python 3.2 series -- python 3.4 fails:
