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 md5test Test program for the optional md5 module.
17 rpc A set of classes for building clients and servers for
20 rsa An RSA public-key cryptosystem (needs mpz and md5).
22 scripts Some useful Python scripts that I put in my bin
23 directory. No optional built-in modules needed.
25 sockets Examples for the new built-in module 'socket'.
27 sgi Demos that only run on Silicon Graphics machines.
28 These require at least one of the optional built-in
29 modules that only make sense for the SGI, such as
30 'gl', 'al', and 'sv'. Split in subdirectories
33 stdwin Demos that use the STDWIN library. Require the 'stdwin'
36 threads Demos that use the 'thread' module. (Currently these
37 only run on SGIs, but this may change in the future.)
39 WARNING: many scripts are executable and have a first line saying
41 #! /usr/local/bin/python
43 This is unlikely to give good results unless you've really installed
44 the latest version python there. Edit the first line before
45 installing such scripts; to try them out, you can just say "python
46 foo.py" or enter python interactively and say "import foo".
