| This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with |
| Python. Most demos are grouped sub(sub*)directories according to |
| required optional built-in modules or specific platform; there is also |
| a set of generally useful scripts and there are some more-or-less |
| complete applications. |
| |
| classes Some examples of how to use classes. |
| |
| embed An example of embedding Python in another application. |
| |
| ibrowse An Emacs info file browser (uses stdwin). |
| See also ../doc (the Python library documentation can |
| be converted to info format). |
| |
| lutz Some demos written by Mark Lutz -- includes a nice |
| enhanced Python shell!!! |
| |
| md5test Test program for the optional md5 module. |
| |
| mpzpi.py Currently the only test for mpz -- print digits of pi |
| (compare scripts/pi.py). |
| |
| rpc A set of classes for building clients and servers for |
| Sun RPC. |
| |
| rsa An RSA public-key cryptosystem (needs mpz and md5). |
| |
| scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin |
| directory. No optional built-in modules needed. |
| |
| stoffel Some games written by Stoffel Erasmus. |
| |
| sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| stdwin Demos that use the STDWIN library. Require the 'stdwin' |
| built-in module. |
| |
| threads Demos that use the 'thread' module. (Currently these |
| only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.) |
| |
| WARNING: many scripts are executable and have a first line saying |
| |
| #! /usr/local/bin/python |
| |
| This is unlikely to give good results unless you've really installed |
| the latest version python there. Edit the first line before |
| installing such scripts; to try them out, you can just say "python |
| foo.py" or enter python interactively and say "import foo". |
