1 This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
2 Python. They were all written by me except where explicitly stated
3 otherwise -- in general, demos contributed by others ends up in the
4 ../Contrib directory, unless I think they're of utmost general
5 importance (like Matt Conway's Tk demos).
7 A fair number of utilities that are useful when while developing
8 Python code can be found in the ../Tools directory -- some of these
9 can also be considered good examples of how to write Python code.
11 Finally, in order to save disk space and net bandwidth, not all
12 subdirectories listed here are distributed. They are listed just
13 in case I change my mind about them.
16 classes Some examples of how to use classes.
18 comparisons A set of responses to a really old language-comparison
21 curses A set of curses demos.
23 embed An example of embedding Python in another application
26 imputil Demonstration subclasses of imputil.Importer.
28 md5test Test program for the optional md5 module.
30 metaclasses The code from the 1.5 metaclasses paper on the web.
32 parser Example using the parser module.
34 pdist Old, unfinished code messing with CVS, RCS and remote
37 pysvr An example of embedding Python in a threaded
40 rpc A set of classes for building clients and servers for
43 scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin
44 directory. No optional built-in modules needed.
46 sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'.
48 threads Demos that use the 'thread' module. (Currently these
49 only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.)
51 tix Demos using the Tix widget set addition to Tkinter.
53 tkinter Demos using the Tk interface (including Matt Conway's
54 excellent set of demos).
58 xmlrpc XML-RPC server framework (but see the standard library
59 module SimpleXMLRPCServer.py for a replacement).
61 zlib Some demos for the zlib module (see also the standard
62 library module gzip.py).
