Guido van Rossum04fe4921991-12-24 13:49:29 +00001This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
2Python. The demos are grouped sub(sub*)directories according to
3required optional built-in modules.
4
5scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin
6 directory. No optional built-in modules meeded.
7
8sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'.
9
10sgi Demos that only run on Silicon Graphics machines.
11 Require the built-in modules 'audio' and/or 'gl'
12 and/or 'stdwin'.
13 (This is split in corresponding subdirectories.)
14
15stdwin Demos that use the STDWIN library. Require the 'stdwin'
16 built-in module.
17
18WARNING: many scripts are executable and have a first line saying
19
20 #! /usr/local/python
21
22This is unlikely to give good results unless you've really installed
23the latest version python there. Edit the first line before
24installing such scripts; to try them out, you can just say "python
25foo.py" or enter python interactively and say "import foo".
