| This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with |
| Python. They were all written by me except where explicitly stated |
| otherwise -- in general, demos contributed by others ends up in the |
| ../Contrib directory, unless I think they're of utmost general |
| importance (like Matt Conway's Tk demos). |
| |
| A fair number of utilities that are useful when while developing |
| Python code can be found in the ../Tools directory -- some of these |
| can also be considered good examples of how to write Python code. |
| |
| Finally, in order to save disk space and net bandwidth, not all |
| subdirectories listed here are distributed. They are listed just |
| in case I change my mind about them. |
| |
| |
| classes Some examples of how to use classes. |
| |
| comparisons A set of responses to a really old language-comparison |
| challenge. |
| |
| curses A set of curses demos. |
| |
| embed An example of embedding Python in another application |
| (see also pysvr). |
| |
| imputil Demonstration subclasses of imputil.Importer. |
| |
| md5test Test program for the optional md5 module. |
| |
| metaclasses The code from the 1.5 metaclasses paper on the web. |
| |
| parser Example using the parser module. |
| |
| pdist Old, unfinished code messing with CVS, RCS and remote |
| files. |
| |
| pysvr An example of embedding Python in a threaded |
| application. |
| |
| rpc A set of classes for building clients and servers for |
| Sun RPC. |
| |
| scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin |
| directory. No optional built-in modules needed. |
| |
| sgi Demos that only run on Silicon Graphics machines. |
| These require at least one of the optional built-in |
| modules that only make sense for the SGI, such as |
| 'gl', 'al', and 'sv'. Split in subdirectories |
| per subject. |
| |
| sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'. |
| |
| threads Demos that use the 'thread' module. (Currently these |
| only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.) |
| |
| tix Demos using the Tix widget set addition to Tkinter. |
| |
| tkinter Demos using the Tk interface (including Matt Conway's |
| excellent set of demos). |
| |
| xml Some XML demos. |
| |
| xmlrpc XML-RPC server framework (but see the standard library |
| module SimpleXMLRPCServer.py for a replacement). |
| |
| zlib Some demos for the zlib module (see also the standard |
| library module gzip.py). |
