Guido van Rossum04fe4921991-12-24 13:49:29 +00001This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
Guido van Rossumee6310a1995-03-22 12:16:35 +00002Python. They were all written by me except where explicitly stated
3otherwise -- in general, demos contributed by others ends up in the
4../Contrib directory, unless I think they're of utmost general
5importance (like Matt Conway's Tk demos).
6
7A fair number of utilities that are useful when while developing
8Python code can be found in the ../Tools directory -- some of these
9can also be considered good examples of how to write Python code.
10
11Finally, in order to save disk space and net bandwidth, not all
12subdirectories listed here are distributed. They are listed just
13in case I change my mind about them.

Guido van Rossumed49c5e1993-10-27 09:29:01 +000038 directory. No optional built-in modules needed.

40sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'.
41
42sgi Demos that only run on Silicon Graphics machines.
Guido van Rossum9183aaa1992-04-13 18:41:41 +000043 These require at least one of the optional built-in
44 modules that only make sense for the SGI, such as
Guido van Rossumed49c5e1993-10-27 09:29:01 +000045 'gl', 'al', and 'sv'. Split in subdirectories
Guido van Rossum9183aaa1992-04-13 18:41:41 +000046 per subject.
Guido van Rossum04fe4921991-12-24 13:49:29 +000047

49 built-in module.
50
Guido van Rossumed49c5e1993-10-27 09:29:01 +000051threads Demos that use the 'thread' module. (Currently these
