1 This directory contains various demonstrations of what you can do with
2 Python. Most demos are grouped sub(sub*)directories according to
3 required optional built-in modules or specific platform; there is also
4 a set of generally useful scripts and there are some more-or-less
7 classes Some examples of how to use classes.
9 embed An example of embedding Python in another application.
11 ibrowse An Emacs info file browser (uses stdwin).
12 See also ../doc (the Python library documentation can
13 be converted to info format).
15 lutz Some demos written by Mark Lutz -- includes a nice
16 enhanced Python shell!!!
18 md5test Test program for the optional md5 module.
20 rpc A set of classes for building clients and servers for
23 rsa An RSA public-key cryptosystem (needs mpz and md5).
25 scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin
26 directory. No optional built-in modules needed.
28 stoffel Some games written by Stoffel Erasmus.
30 sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'.
32 sgi Demos that only run on Silicon Graphics machines.
33 These require at least one of the optional built-in
34 modules that only make sense for the SGI, such as
35 'gl', 'al', and 'sv'. Split in subdirectories
38 stdwin Demos that use the STDWIN library. Require the 'stdwin'
41 threads Demos that use the 'thread' module. (Currently these
42 only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.)
44 WARNING: many scripts are executable and have a first line saying
46 #! /usr/local/bin/python
48 This is unlikely to give good results unless you've really installed
49 the latest version python there. Edit the first line before
50 installing such scripts; to try them out, you can just say "python
51 foo.py" or enter python interactively and say "import foo".
