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.
Guido van Rossum9183aaa1992-04-13 18:41:41 +000011 These require at least one of the optional built-in
12 modules that only make sense for the SGI, such as
13 the modules 'gl' and 'al'. Split in subdirectories
14 per subject.
Guido van Rossum04fe4921991-12-24 13:49:29 +000015
16stdwin Demos that use the STDWIN library. Require the 'stdwin'
17 built-in module.
18
19WARNING: many scripts are executable and have a first line saying
20
21 #! /usr/local/python
22
23This is unlikely to give good results unless you've really installed
24the latest version python there. Edit the first line before
25installing such scripts; to try them out, you can just say "python
26foo.py" or enter python interactively and say "import foo".
