| Guido van Rossum | 04fe492 | 1991-12-24 13:49:29 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with |
| Guido van Rossum | ee6310a | 1995-03-22 12:16:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2 | Python. They were all written by me except where explicitly stated |
| 3 | otherwise -- in general, demos contributed by others ends up in the |
| 4 | ../Contrib directory, unless I think they're of utmost general |
| 5 | importance (like Matt Conway's Tk demos). |
| 6 | |
| 7 | A fair number of utilities that are useful when while developing |
| 8 | Python code can be found in the ../Tools directory -- some of these |
| 9 | can also be considered good examples of how to write Python code. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Finally, in order to save disk space and net bandwidth, not all |
| 12 | subdirectories listed here are distributed. They are listed just |
| 13 | in case I change my mind about them. |
